Primarily Scripture with Cindy Young
6. Look for Testimonies
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Host Cindy Young meets with 12yo Ashlyn and they read 1st Nephi 1:2-3 together. Ashlyn points out that language used in the scriptures is a little different from our modern language, but together she and Cindy find that we can still understand the scriptures if we slow down and think about it. Cindy finds Nephi's testimony and they add "testimony" to their list of things to look for in the scriptures.

Don't forget the parable of the snowball: listening to someone else talk about the gospel is like having snowballs thrown at you. Reading the scriptures is like making your own snowball. Taking the time to search, ponder, and pray about what you've read is like rolling the snowball around and around so that it grows and grows. So don't just listen to me - please go read for yourself so your knowledge and testimony can grow and grow!!
