My favorite parts of the lesson today were discussing the significance of Christ's Birth, when Jonci shared her missionary experience, and the video. I've seen the video many times but it's a powerful reminder of the people at the heart of the story and it makes it real to me. Having been through a pregnancy with my wife I can't imagine how hard it would be for Joseph to be stuck in Bethlehem with his pregnant wife with no place to sleep, let alone a good place to have the baby. Mary was a courageous lady to take all that in stride!
Next week we will be studying more about John the Baptist and our baptismal covenants. The study guide can be found here. The reading assignment is Matthew 3-4 and John 1:35-51.
I'm always looking for advice on how to improve the lessons. If there is anything I can do to make it better for you, please post a comment or send me a note.

Today I was studying the verses in next week's lesson about what repentance is. "Godly sorrow" is such a powerful phrase. I was trying to think of times when I have deeply felt this in my life. How does one develop this? How do you teach it? When I tell Danny, "Say sorry and give your sister a hug" he does it, but doesn't always genuinely mean it. How do I help him feel it? How do I feel it? Just pondering . . . and rambling.
