Monday Minutes

HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST WEEKS LESSON:

We had a last minute switch of teacher and lesson. We discussed chapter 5, "The Grand Destiny of the Faithful", from the Lorenzo Snow manual. We discussed the doctrine, "As man now is, God once was; As God now is, man may be." We talked about how our knowledge of our Divine Destiny influences the way we see ourselves. One sister shared the acronym DIVA to help us remember how we should think of ourselves and how we should treat each other.
