Understanding and Application of Key Principles (12 points) 3. What scripture from either of the above scripture reading assignments taught you something about the Savior that was particularly meaningful to you? (Please reference the scripture, quote the key sentence, and then, using at least 50 words of your own, please explain what you learned about Christ.) Scripture Reference: D&C 1:17 Key Sentence: I the Lord knowing the calamity which should come called upon Joseph Smith Jun.

What did you learn about Christ? What I came to learn about Christ is that he was incredibly smart, and knew of all things that were to come to pass here on this earth. He knew that Joseph Smith junior was the correct person to choose to be the prophet and to translate the Book of Mormon. 51

4. What commentary from either of the above reading packet assignments taught you something about the Savior that was particularly meaningful to you? (Please reference the assigned reading, quote the key sentence, and then, using at least 50 words of your own, please explain what you learned about Christ.) Assigned Reading: The Restoration in All Things s ewh a ts ha l lt h e yd owh i c ha r eba p t i z e df o rt h ed e a d , i ft h ed e a dr i s en ot a ta l l ?Wh ya r et h e y Key Sentence: El t h e nba p t i z e df o rt h ed e a d ? What did you learn about Christ? This brought up a really interesting point of why we even do baptisms for the dead. It just shows how Christ brought about the resurrection and how true all of that is. That we also need to help our ancestors out with doing their ordinances due to the fact that they didn’t get a chance to when they were living. 60

5. What is your semester project? To become more diligent and loving. 6. What scripture from your personal scripture study this week do you feel best applies to your semester project? (Please reference the scripture, quote the key sentence, and then, using at least 50 words of your own, please explain how this scripture applies to your project). Scripture Reference: D&C 1:38 Key Sentence: Whether by mine own voice or the voice of mine servants, it is the same. How does this apply to your project? This applies to my ambiguous semester project because it deals with missionary work and the fact that we should all proclaim his gospel to all of Heavenly Father’s children here on this earth in our lifetime. We must be loving to all as he was and be diligent in working to spread the word. 54

7. What commentary from either of the above reading packet assignments do you feel best applies to your semester project? (Please reference the assigned reading, quote the key sentence, and then, using at least 50 words of your own, please explain how this teaching applies to your project). Assigned Reading: What is the Blueprint for Christ’s Church Key Sentence: Ch r i s t b u i l tah o met ob e s ta c c o mmo d a t et h es p i r i t u a ln e e d so fHi sc h i l d r e n . I t wa sc a l l e dHi s Ch u r c h . How does this apply to your project? This, I found, applies to my semester project because it just reaffirms that this church is true, and that Christ went about doing good to all who wished to join and accept his commandments. This church is true and brings all who enter happiness, of which I wish to lovingly spread to others, like butter on toasty bread. 58

8. As you think about what is currently going on in your life (i.e., your joys, your pains, your achievements, your challenges, your responsibilities, your interests, your pending decisions, your family concerns, etc.), what else did you learn from any of the above assigned readings that was particularly meaningful to you? (Please reference the scripture or assigned reading, quote the key sentence, and then, without being too personal, please use at least 50 words of your own to explain why this teaching, principle, or insight is important to you.) Scripture Reference (or Assigned Reading): D&C 1:38 Key Sentence: I excuse not myself. Why is this important to you? This is important to me because it just reaffirms the fact that I need to stand strongly for my beliefs at all times, and in all places. The Lord knew he was going about doing good and bringing forth righteousness, of which he refused to apologize for to those who had a hard time accepting it. 56

9. Based on what you learned from the assigned readings this week, what is one specific thing that you will “go and do” so as to accomplish your semester project and bring about the change or improvement in your discipleship that you are currently seeking? (Please remember to identify a new plan of action every week.) I plan on serving my roommates some point this week. RESPECT FOR SPIRITUAL LEARNING Tuesday’s Class (2 points—all or nothing) 10.

If you attended your Religion 250 class on either of the above-noted dates, please explain two spiritual truths or insights you learned during our class discussions that were particularly meaningful to you. (For each truth or insight, please use at least 50 words of your own to explain what you learned.) a. Something interesting I learned whilst attending this stringent religion class is that this church was restored to its great glory, it wasn’t just repaired from another church. It was restored into its original forum and glory, not just an offshoot of some other random church. Which makes this the one true church. 52

b. Another great insight I was able to attain that I would no wise been able had I not attended this class by Brother Dorman is that Joseph Smith junior was called and chosen by none other than the Almighty God to lead and guide, and to restore this wonderful church here upon the earth once again. 56 [NOTE: It is your responsibility to fill out this assessment completely and correctly before you turn it in.
