<span style="font-size: large;">November 2015 Question #2</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://www.lds.org/youth/learn/yw/self-reliance/converted?lang=eng" target="_blank">How do I know if I am becoming converted?</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
One of the activities in the Come Follow Me curriculum suggest the girls put together a list of questions or a self-inventory to see where they are on the path to conversion. I decided to come up with my own self-inventory and have them take it. We will then go through and talk about how each thing contributes to conversion. Here are the <span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tbs28uBtTF0JjQepgxGWlbSPrpOQczYGQYPbfi84Hgg/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">questions</a> </span>I used. Some questions are obviously more weighted than others. This is done intentionally so that the girls can see that although they may not answer positively to every question they are still well on the path to conversion. I will stress that conversion is a process and testimony is where conversion begins. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: -1in;">sharing </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">her own </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">stories, doesn't give the kids enough time to answer and share, asks only one </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: -1in;">or </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">two </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">questions the </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">entire class, or the worst being, standing up and giving a lesson with </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: -1in;">no feedback. </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">Sometimes it is </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">hard to come up with thought provoking questions to lead </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: -1in;">discussion. </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">One of our </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">teacher trainers </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">said that we should think about what we want to teach </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: -1in;">and </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">then craft meaningful </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">questions for the </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">students to answer and think about. With that in </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: -1in;">mind, my lesson plan is full of </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">questions because I </span><span style="text-indent: -1in;">never know exactly where class </span></div>

<span style="text-indent: -1in;">participation will take the discussion.</span></div>

The layout of my lesson it will go something like this:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1.0in; text-indent: -1.0in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li> I will begin by asking the girls what things transform over time (tadpoles, seeds, caterpillars).</li>
<li> How do these things relate to conversion?</li>
<li> Is there a difference between testimony and conversion? If so, what?</li>
<li> What kinds of decisions in our lives will lead us to conversion?</li>
<li> How does practicing the values in the Personal Progress Program lead to conversion?</li>
<li> What changes have you noticed in your life as you diligently work to live the gospel?</li>
<li> Share an experience of a time you lived a gospel principle before knowing of its truthfulness.</li>
<li> What experiences have deepened your conversion?</li>
</ul>
<div>
I will talk about the characteristics of a converted people found in <a href="https://www.lds.org/manual/true-to-the-faith/conversion?lang=eng" target="_blank">True to the Faith</a> and in Elder </div>
<div>
Bednar's <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/10/converted-unto-the-lord?lang=eng" target="_blank">"Converted unto the Lord" </a> talk we will discuss the things that result in conversion.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I made a butterfly treat that I will tie into the lesson by talking about how a caterpillar transforms </div>
<div>
into <span style="text-indent: -1in;">a butterfly and how we go through a similar process.</span></div>

I bought mini pretzels laid them together on parchment paper. Melt the melting chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments. Fill a ziplock bag with the melted chocolate then barely snip the edge to fill the holes in the pretzels and put extra in the middle to keep the pretzels together. Quickly add mini M&M's, sprinkles and confetti. Put them in the fridge for 15 minutes to harden. A cute see- through bag and a ribbon finishes it off.<br />
