Heber J. Grant - Page 2

Like Tena, I have to teach RS this coming Sunday. I enjoy teaching so much. Because the sisters in the Relief Society in my Branch do not participate much, I need to use lots of visual aids and object lessons to keep their attention. For this particularly lesson, I plan to take a phone and a picture of Christ. The cord will run behind Christ's picture as to show he is in the other end of the line. I will have handouts for 4 sisters. They will act a certain role of someone talking on the phone. The first one will say something like 'Hi, I just called to say everything is okay. Talk to you later'. After each sister talks on the phone, I will ask them how they would feel in someone talk to them like that in the phone and how Christ would feel if we talk with him like that. Then the second sister will be on the phone talking about trivial things like shopping and stuff, the third sister will rush going into the phone, will raise her hands and will say something like 'I'll call later' and the last one with one knee bending while dialing the number and then with both knees kneeling, she will talk with Heavenly Father in the proper way. Talking and listening for the answer.
On the board I will write how to A-S-K (I found this great idea on a web site)

A- Ask with simplicity
S- Seek with intensity
K- knock with persistency.

Well, I suppose the reason is you all in English follow the King James Version and that's how is written, in Spanish we do not follow the King James Version but the 'Reina Valera' version/translation which is the one that the Church approved as most accurate and in this version we refer as God as 'Tu' no 'Usted'. Usted is not even mention in any part of the Bible or the rest of the scriptures. Interesting huh?.

Wow! LDS, I like your plan for the lesson. Very creative. I am never that creative, but I do insist on class participation. I, too, love to teach RS. However, all the sisters know me well enough to know that if they don't participate, I will just stand at the front of the class for 30 minutes and we can just all be quiet.
