Video – Captain Moroni (17:50)


Class: "Building A Testimony Fort"
A testimony is gained little by little, just as a building is built brick by brick. (Like a FORT)
Once the fort was built the boys threw a nerf ball of "temptations of the world" at the fort to break down their testimonies. I'm happy to say that the fort held up!

Mom's Class "Raising A Righteous Generation"
Stake President counselor spoke about pornography and showed video:
