</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Display a completed puzzle of an Old/New Testament temple.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When Jesus lived on earth all the ordinances and principles of his church were taught and practised so that those who chose to learn of Him and follow Him would indeed be able to return to live with their Father in Heaven.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But after Jesus Christ died, the people became wicked and His gospel and priesthood were taken from the earth. Break the puzzle of the temple up into pieces and remove them.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Explain that this was called the Apostasy, and the people were in spiritual darkness - like having their eyes closed spiritually. </span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Have all the children close their eyes, and discuss what they can see, and how much they think they could do to perform a normal routine if they had to do so in darkness? </span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Select a child to come to the front of the room and do a 'normal' activity blind folded, like pouring a bowl of cereal or rice and lentils from a jug and put toothpaste on a toothbrush.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Explain that without light we cannot see what we are doing making it difficult to do what we need too, and when the gospel and the priesthood were removed people were left in spiritual darkness and unable to do the things that are necessary to return to the presence of Heavenly Father.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Have them close their eyes a second time and hold up a picture of the First Vision, and tell the children to open their eyes. Explaining that Jesus restored His church through Joseph Smith. </span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So when Joseph Smith prayed to Heavenly Father to know which church he should join, [have a child come forward and act out this prayer], Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared [again have children come forward to re-enact this and have them give the child who prayed a set of puzzle pieces], saying that eventually they gave Joseph all that would need to be restored.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Restored means to give back everything in it's completeness. Not just one piece or even giving back a part that might be slightly damaged. Everything is given back in perfect order.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Let us see what 'Joseph' was given. Have 'Joseph' do the puzzle.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Draw the children's attention to the fact that this picture of a temple is different to the last picture puzzle. Do the other puzzle and display both. Turn the puzzle pieces over to reveal that both are actually made up of the same things; apostles, prophet, bishop, teacher, patriarch/evangelist.</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Point out that the restored Church has the same kinds of leaders as the church did when Jesus Christ was upon the earth. </span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Does anyone know what the name of the restored church is? </span></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

In our pre-mortal life you and I were spirit children and lived with our Heavenly parents.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. Jesus was the first born spirit child of Heavenly Father so He is the older brother of our spirits.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. Lucifer, who we know as Satan, was also a spirit child of Heavenly Father.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Heavenly Father called a meeting for all his spirit children. At this meeting he explained his plan for us to become like Him. He told us that he wanted us to go to earth to get a physical body, so that we could one day become like Him. He explained that on earth we would be tested to see if we would keep His commandments.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. At this meeting Heavenly Father also explained that on earth we would all make mistakes and we would all die. Heavenly Father needed someone to be a Saviour, to suffer for our mistakes and sins, and to die for us so that we could be resurrected.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">6. Lucifer wanted to save everyone by taking away their freedom to choose, which would have made it impossible for us to make mistakes or be righteous. Lucifer also wanted all the honour and glory to be his and not Heavenly Fathers.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">7. Because He loved us, Jesus volunteered to be our Saviour. He wanted to follow Heavenly Father’s plan and give the glory to Heavenly Father.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">8. Heavenly Father chose Jesus to be our Saviour. Lucifer was angry and rebelled against Heavenly Father.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">9. Heavenly Father’s spirit children had to decide whether to follow Jesus or Lucifer.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">10. One-third of Heavenly Father’s spirit children chose to follow Lucifer, and they were all cast out of heaven. Lucifer became Satan, and the spirits who followed him became evil spirits, who try to get us to do wrong things. These spirits who followed Satan did not receive physical bodies.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">11.

Everyone took a side wither with Christ or with Satan. Each of us had our agency there to choose. I will explain that the scriptures tell us that 1/3 of the host of Heaven chose to follow Satan, and 2/3 chose to follow Jesus, at this point I will have the children and teachers look across the room at each other and ask themselves if they think it was easy to battle against friends and family members.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'll then ask them who did they think they chose in the pre-mortal life?

Can they remember the first time they had a bath? Can anyone remember the first time they ate mashed banana? Can anyone remember choosing Christ in our pre-mortal life? Explaining that just as we can't remember those things we did as a baby, doesn't mean that they didn't happen. Our pre-mortal life is like that too, just because we don't remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen. And it did happen. We know through prophets and scripture that those who chose to follow Jesus Christ in that life, were allowed to come to earth and gain a body.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I will explain that these keys are for these doors, drawing their attention to the poster door display. I will explain that each door has a question that needs to be unlocked, and that each key has a phrase on it, but only one is the correct phrase and key for a door. To work out which is correct I'll ask the class to listen with care to the words that they sing as I accompany “I Lived in Heaven” [CS, 4].</span></span></div></div></div></div><div class="western" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div>Nothing too problematic. I am asthmatic, and have struggled this winter season, and wasn't responding to traditional methods of medicating. But as it turns out, back in August my preventative was changed by a different GP at our family's surgery, and over a six month period I basically struggled and finally lost control of the illness. I had to be admitted, as I was relying on nebulisation every four hours and I needed to be placed on a higher dosage of steroids, that GP's can't prescribe. But they still did a full m.o.t on me anyway to check that all was ok, and thankfully it was - just glad to be home, I am sooo not a fan of needles.<div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love my patriarchal blessing, and what consistently amazes me, is how much, and how deep mine is. By deep I mean, it is written in plain english for all to read clearly, but it's not until you start studying, pondering, fasting and praying over your blessing that the layers begin to open for you. Suddenly, something you only took to mean as simple and possibly insignificant, now has taken new meaning, and you wonder how you ever missed it before. While to others who may happen to read the words gifted to you, they will never see, feel or understand the revelation in the same words as you do.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It has also taught me how much I am personally known to my Father and Saviour. How they truly understand the path I am walking, who I am becoming, and the obstacles and challenges set before me. As a younger person I used to read and marvel with hind-sight, but as I have matured in the gospel it has become a powerful instrument to me and guides the choices I make almost daily. </span></div>

As the new year comes around once more, I have been asked to run this class again.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Introduction:</b> Centuries earlier, a righteous and loving father by the name of Lehi took his beloved family into desert wasteland. He journeyed in response to the voice of the Lord. But the Lord did not decree that such a “flight” be undertaken without heavenly help.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today your patriarchal blessing is a personalized, carefully chosen sacred gift from our Heavenly Father. As you come to understand what your blessing contains, it will help you discover your purpose in life and help guide you toward your eternal reward. Your patriarchal blessing is a revelation given to protect, inspire, and motivate activity and righteousness in each of us.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once you have gone through doing this, go back choosing a topic to start with like 'Counsel,' and look at the specifics. The types of words and phrases used. Start making notes. Even if you think you know what a particular word already means. Look it up in the dictionary what <i>does</i> it mean? Turn to your Bible dictionary is it there? What other meaning is added? Turn to your Topical guide, what scriptures are associated with your particular word or phrase? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What added meaning, thoughts and feelings come to you as a result of this type of study and contemplation? Write it all down.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Share a personal experience from your own study to highlight the above steps, mine is as follows:</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For example, the word 'delight' and phrase 'to be a source of delight' appears in my blessing. For years I assumed that it meant to bring pleasure or enjoyment to those around me. As a result I continued to do everything I could to make others happy and to please them. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">By today's standards that is exactly what 'delight' means. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But that is not what the Lord meant for me to do, or be.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When I sincerely studied this, I found, that <u>being</u> 'a delight' was to be a <u>source of joy</u>. Meaning, I didn't have to measure myself by how happy those around me are, because others happiness is dependant upon them <u>taking</u> joy, [in this case] in who I am. This inspiration was confirmed to me at the time as what the Lord meant, and the whole experience became a defining moment for me. It liberated me from the responsibility of trying to be everything to everyone. If what I 'delight in' isn't what makes others happy, it is no-longer my focus. So I am free to turn my energies to other spiritually productive pursuits. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So even though you think you know what a word or phrase means, I ask, is that what your Father meant? After all, his thoughts are not our thoughts.</span></div>

Held in place over the pouring area to allow the wool length to catch the droplet. Take a look at the photographs. In a, I have placed the jug inside a large loop knot, [making sure to have a lot of length in the leftover]. Then moved it up as close to the rim, and pouring spout as I could get. To stop the thread from slipping, and to keep the knot in place, I then took the length of wool not attached to the glass, [the leftover if you like from making the knot], and pulled it tight to one side of the spout, across the face of the open jug, and then wrapped it back around the handle for my hand to keep held in place.</span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

This is her having a go, and an example of what to do if you want to make a mess. The jug and wool length is at an angle that is too high from the glass, and the gap between the spout and the wool to big. She is also pouring way too fast. But you can however see the water travelling the wool, which is why I put it in. You must keep the wool tight and manoeuvre the jug a little so the length of wool from the glass touches the spout.</span></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

The length has to be tight across the distance between the jug and glass. So I added the handle of a spoon. I placed the handle through a loop knot, tightened it off, then placed the handle over the middle of the glass mouth, so that the wool fell directly centre.

This kept the wool tight between the jug constantly. </span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
