A Spiritual Feast...followed by dessert!

The institute lesson this week began, of course, with Sharing Time, with contributers from many individuals (although apparently 3 Nephi is the hot-spot to be reading in at the moment). Many insights shared were also from the recent Stake Conference, with Elder Baxtor the Area President. The lesson mainly focussed on understanding our relationship with Heavenly Father and the Saviour and knowing that they know us, as was talked about by Elder Baxtor at conference. We were given an experiment by Tania to try for a few minutes, writing a letter to Heavenly Father and seeing what we learnt from that experience. We also shared our favourite scriptures about Heavenly Father and discussed them. The spirit was very strong throughout the whole lesson and Bek, Tyler and Mari-Anna were in attendance to experience that wonderful blessing. After the spiritual feast, those who were keen headed to Mures for icecream (as you do on a freezing, cold night, whilst it is most likely snowing on the mountain.) Mari-Anna tried the banana flavour, mmm....
