Guess What....?

I LOVE INSTITUTE! 

For the longest time I have had this bad attitude about going to institute (In Moab), I don't even really know why...I remember feeling stupid and feeling like I was on a lower level of learning and that everything was so over my head so why should I go at all? Which is totally ridiculous...even if it was, that is lamest excuse I've ever heard, if anything you would think that would be more of a reason to keep going but my negative attitude held me back. Sad, yes? I think its sad, lol!

I took an institute class this last winter when I was living in Cedar and I really loved it. A few weeks ago I guess I decided It was time to start going again, I seriously don't know why I wasn't going before. There were a total of 4 people in the class, counting myself....sad right? I thought it was sad, I honestly thought that more people went, I just couldn't believe it. Brother Jackman is an awesome teacher and its really neat the way he helps me understand the scriptures. For example one of my favorite things I've learned so far is that the Bible and the B.O.M were written during the same time, I know you're probably thinking what a dork, who doesn't know that, right? And i suppose if I actually thought about it I could have probably put that together.  We are currently studying the Old Testament and Brother Jackman will take us from the Bible to the B.O.M and show us, "while this is going on in the Bible...this was what was going on in the B.O.M" and ya know I've been told that the scriptures help each other out but I had never actually thought of how. This is probably just a big jumbled mess to you but it was an "ah-ha" moment for me. The people in the B.O.M were alive at the same time as the people in the Bible. Its really cool for me to have these two books come together in my mind! 

Anyway I am on a quest to get YOU people to come to institute! (Sometimes I bring treats! ;)) It doesn't matter if you think you are below or even above the learning level, you will learn and you will be blessed for being where you need to be!...SO...please do come to institute we have a jolly good time!
