On Tents and Towers

King Benjamin has been our focus for the last two days in Seminary. It never ceases to amaze me how very truly our God is a God of order! Even when one author ends his scripture writings and another begins, each lesson builds on the one preceeding it and here is no exception. Where Amaleki admonishes us to come unto Christ, King Benjamin teaches how in his final words to his people.
First of all, our class divided into three groups. King Benjamin reminds them of how they have been prepared to receive the word of God. Each group is given a list of ten ways, of which they look up and make note. Then, for each answer the group gets one wood "Jenga" block, and with the blocks they construct a tower.
The next preparation is to take their tents (one bedsheet per group), and their food (trail mix), and put up their tents.
The groups are given parts of the King's talk to look up. As they sit inside their tents, they study and then they choose one in their group to represent King Benjamin, who wears a crown made by a student, and presents their portion.
With a discussion, some quotes and stories, we finished the morning with prayer, a bit of clean up and well wishes for the day.
