"never-ending happiness"

True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours." Richard G. Scott, Ensign, Nov. 2006, 41

Seminary and Institute Opening Activity

Following the great teacher training we received from Brother Jensen we had a potluck lunch and then moved into our opening Seminary and Institute activity. We began with an introduction of teachers and classes and then showed the movie The Testaments of One Fold and One Shepherd. Then Brother Jensen spoke about the value of Seminary and Institute and how our testimonies of the Savior will grow as we participate in these classes. The movie and Brother Jensen's comments were a special spiritual beginning for the new year. We then moved to activities that an energetic fun couple had planned for the afternoon. We asked them to plan outdoor activities with a back up for indoors. Just as we went to leave the building it started raining and we made a quick change to indoor activities. We ended the day with a pizza dinner.
