Good evening passengers. This is your captain speaking. On behalf of the flight crew we welcome you aboard Devine Airlines, Flight 249 with non-stop service to the Future Missionary Training Center.
While you are enjoying your in-flight snack, please direct your attention to the flight attendants as we review the preparedness procedures.
(Hold up picture of seat-belt over heart) If you haven’t already done so, please stow your luggage underneath your seat. Please take your seat, fasten your seat belt and remain reverent. Make sure your heart, might, mind and strength are in the upright and locked position.
(Hold up picture of CTR shield) As you take off on your missions, you will experience a Spiritual Lift. Choosing the right gives you continual lift. It keeps us moving forward and enables us to rise above the world, where we can see clearly how to return to our Heavenly Father.
(Hold up picture of compass) We'll be traveling at an altitude of 35,000 feet and may experience some minor turbulence. In the event the winds of temptation take us off course, your spiritual navigator, the Holy Ghost, will provide constant promptings about how to correct your course. If you listen carefully, he will guide you.
(Hold up picture of scriptures/prayer) In the event of a sudden drop or change in your testimony, stay calm and read the instruction manuals – the scriptures – then get on your knees, bow your head and start praying.
Thank you and enjoy your short flight.
