This one is called Share It! from my religion class. Unlike Teach a Friend, this assignment involves me sharing an insight from our reading assignment for the week. I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Alma 10:2,3   is so awesome. In truth, I don’t know enough of my stud ancestors to be able to introduce myself like that. Also, WHO IS AMINADI?? And what story are we missing about God writing on a wall, and Aminadi interpreting it?? *sigh* If you’ve read my blog, you might be able to figure out, I got a thing for a man like that. The super cool thing about this scripture -- the missing story.  It’s a reminder that we only have a portion of their history --But Amulek, and the people he was addressing, they knew the story. We’ll have to wait a little longer for that one.

Earlier in Alma 8:27, is a scripture that I really love, though it seems like it doesn’t say much. “ Alma tarried many days with Amulek”.  Knowing what will happen in Amulek’s city, to him and his family, this seems even more special. Can you imagine what it would be like to have the prophet tarry with you ? The conversations, the meals, the walks, the games with kids, maybe. Like the part in the movie where all the good stuff happens before the big battle: You discover how wonderful all the characters are. Relationships are formed and strengthened. Beautiful things happen. Light is golden, music is beautiful; identities  reinforced.
