Reflection and Synthesis Report Name: Simone Bagni Week #: 13 Instructions In the table provided below, you will complete your reflection and synthesis responses for this week. Be sure to complete each Response section. When referencing scripture or other materials, only include a brief or abbreviated summary along with the citation as these cannot be included in the required word count. When you have completed the document, save it to your computer and follow the instructions in your course to submit the assignment to your instructor. 1. Did you complete all the assigned reading for the week? Yes 2. Article of Faith Please identify the Article of Faith studied this week Response: "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." 3. Explanation of Key Events and Scriptures Demonstrate your comprehension of fundamental truths of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and your ability to use the scriptures to teach them. Be sure to include specific scripture references from the assigned readings Scenario: Imagine you have been asked by a family member or friend to share what you believe about the truths and events you studied this week. Share in your own words several insights as though you are really trying to teach someone. Include at least three scripture references to support the truths you teach (you may reference them, but there is no need to quote them). Share your testimony as you would when teaching someone. Your response will be evaluated by the following criteria: 1. 200–300 words in length (please include your word count at the bottom of the section). 2. Include at least 3 scripture references . Response: This week I would like to share with my family the importance of “…being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men…” (Article of Faith 13). In Mosiah 5:2,4 we learn how much faith

the saints developed, and this great work brought a mighty change in their hearts; a change that invited them to stop thinking about doing evil, but the desire to do good continually. What a marvelous change is this, thinking to do good to our family members, friends and neighbors without stopping. In D&C 136:17-33 we can read that if we do the work that God is asking us, we have nothing to fear, even if our enemies are fighting against us, they cannot prevail. In these verses we are learning eternal rules that will govern the Celestial Kingdom, commandments of love and peace one with another. Clearly being this good some days may not be really easy and for this the prophet Moroni left us some invitation how to try to keep the Spirit with us and how to recognize the promptings of the Spirit and follow what is inspired from God. We may invite all people to experiment for themselves and use the Spirit of Christ, that is given freely to every man, to ask directly to God if the principle of the restored gospel through the Prophet Joseph Smith are true or not. I shar my testimony tat I did this experiment many times and I always received an answer from God testifying me the truthfulness of the only living church on earth today, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints. Word Count: 272 4. Synthesis: Personal Relevance and Application to the Real World There are many serious challenges people encounter on a daily basis that are consequences of living in a fallen world. The gospel truths taught in the Articles of Faith have tremendous power to help people find answers, rise above problems, or simply feel God's love and concern for them again. Each week you will choose an issue (below) and think deeply about how the truths in that week’s Article of Faith can offer hope to those who are experiencing the problem. If you have another issue that particularly interests you, then choose your own: abortion abuse/bullying addiction depression divorce domestic violence energy/environmental issues violence gambling genocide homosexuality international terrorism materialism natural disasters
