un today. First we imagined what it would be like to leave home as Lehi did, but in our own day. Then we were crash landed on the moon as we were heading toward our mother ship, and had to prioritize as a class, a list of provisions we would take in order to walk the rest of the way. (Great discussion and insights into decision-making, etc.).I asked the class if anyone could cut a hole in a sheet of paper, that two people could pass through comfortably. Since no one knew how it could be done I got to be the one to show them how, but of course, the only reason I knew was because it was in the lesson! (Unfortunately the illustration isn't transferable so you'll have to find it through a search engine if you want it. It's the "walk through paper trick") It ends up to be a huge circle. It was a great example of how the Lord often asks us to do things that seem impossible, but He makes a way.
Then we made a paper folding of a sailboat with instructions for how to fold, etc.. It wasn't an easy little project but it required us to carefully follow the directions and even then, some couldn't make it work - including me on that last step! I offered Seminary dollars to anyone who could successfully complete it and there were 2 who did!
Lots of doing in this lesson. Lots of student involvement. I really like that.
Lastly we watched a short video and then dismissed. It was great!
