Institute is Wonderful

I mentioned in my First Day of School post that I signed up for an institute class. {Did I also mention that I'm technically done with institute? I don't remember but I am graduated from institute and will be getting a diploma whenever I want it!} I am so glad that I did. I went to my first class today and it was wonderful. The class is called "Teachings of the Living Prophets" and I love it already. Today we just got to know each other and then we read some quotes about the importance of modern revelation. It was just what I needed and I feel like it is really going to help motivate me to grow closer to the Spirit and to learn how to see the hand of God in my everyday life. Also, the prophet has asked that we pass around a scripture reading chart during each class and keep track of how many days we have taken the time to do individual scripture study. I think that this will really help me to make an extra effort to read SOMETHING from my scriptures every day. I am so grateful for institute and the opportunity I have to learn more about the gospel, strengthen my testimony, and grow closer to the Spirit so that I can use it to better my life and marriage and to help the people around me. I love spiritual highs! And I plan on keeping this one up throughout the semester. :]


Also we got cute little yellow legal pads to write on so I'm pretty excited about that. {Remember, I love school supplies}

Oh, and I am the designated musician aka pianist even though I barely play. I am glad for the practice though.
