Come to Institute

COME TO INSTITUTE "I Ask You to Make Participation in Institute a Priority" As we contemplate the eternal nature of our choices, educational preparation is a vital factor in our lives. When faced with a lengthy period of schooling, there appears at times to be no light at the tunnel's end, no dawn to break the darkness. At such times, you need the light that comes from becoming acquainted with the lessons the scriptures teach. You should learn the background and setting of the Master's parables and the prophets'admonitions. Study them as though they are speaking to you, for they are.... If you are a single college student, I ask you to make participation in institute a priority. Married students and other young adults are also welcome and encouraged to attend. Think of it. Friends will be made, the Spirit will be felt, and faith will be strengthened. I promise you that as you participate in institute and study the scriptures diligently, your power to avoid temptation and to receive direction of the Holy Ghost in all you do will be increased. Divine favor will attend those who humbly seek it. That is a promise which I will leave with you. (President Thomas S. Monson, May 21, 2009)

  • A Few Evidences of the Divine Origen of the Book of Mormon

    1. Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon from ancient gold plates by the gift and power of God. 2. Eyewitnesses to the existence of the ancient plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated include 11 witnesses who remained true to their testimonies throughout their lives. 3. Numerous archaelogical and anthropological links to the old world. 4. Literary parallels to ancient languages and practices (ie. Hebraisms, personal names) and modern day word print computer analysis shows multiple authors, none of whose style is similar to that of Joseph Smith. **For additional information, please see: www.mormon.org farms.byuedu www.fairlds.org www.ancientamerica.org
