Did you complete all the assigned reading for the week? [Yes] 2.

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: I think this week’s Article of Faith is foundational to our church and coming to know the truth of the Doctrine of Christ. Some scriptures that stood out to me this week was 1st Nephi 13:24-27 & 38-42, 2 Nephi 3:12, and Mormon 7:8-10

The Book of Mormon holds a very special place in my heart. For the majority of my younger years my family was not active in church and didn't keep a schedule that was conducive to the spirit. We still believed but unfortunately our actions never really followed that belief. Missionaries came to our house and over time helped my parents and the rest of my siblings reactivate in the church and there was an immediate difference that could be felt in the home as we did those simple but powerful things that brought Christ and the spirit into our lives. For me the biggest aspect was the Book of Mormon. I knew who Jesus Christ was and what he did but nothing more than an knowledge of what he did. The Book of Mormon allowed me to have those integral spiritual experiences that taught me the power of the atonement of Christ, how he helps he on a daily basis, his foundational role as our Savior, and why he needed to come to this earth. It made reading the Bible simpler as using the knowledge that I learned from the Book of Mormon it allowed me to connect the dots on what Jesus was teaching as well as his Apostles. That's the reason these scriptures above stood out to me, they teach this principle that both scriptures work in tandem as witnesses of Christ and his doctrine. So that we can all know the exact truth he is trying to get across as in the words of his apostles said "In the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses shall every word be established". Word Count:318 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
