Eleventy-nine ideas for teaching the D&C by Br. Castillow

1. Joseph Smith History 1:20 Show picture Church History in the Fullness of 
Times (BOOK) cover. Wanted a picture of him leaving the grove because of 
what he had learned. What did he know when leaving the grove that he didn't 
know when he went in. Can you think of a sacred grove place for yourself 
where you left knowing more than when you ventured. I have learned for 
myself:

D&C4 Suitcase set in front of class. What are some things that young men, 
women bring home from the mission. Clubs, arms,(Ammon) White shirt, tie, 
scriptures. Things you can sneak into countries. Things of the heart. 
Underline anything the lord wants you to take on your mission:

DC5:11-18 Treasure box. Inside put rare things. Gold coin, gold 
frankincense, mur,1000 cash. Bring up witness and rally doesn't. Bring in 
3-4 kids. Now I believe. Real $1000 cash. 2 Cor 13:1 In the mouth of two or 
three witnesses shall every word be established. (use a shelled peanut, that 
has never been touched or seen, let one kid witness etc.) DC5:24 Bowl: $.25 
taped in center of bowl. Back away from bowl until just quarter goes out of 
view. Make it so you can see, fill it with water. The light rays bend and 
the quarter comes into view. How can you liken this to the gospel. View, 
Acknowledge, Covenant, exercise faith. Use this Sanctify in DC 88:68; 93:1 
Picture of Jesus in bottom of bowl

DC-:9 Magic 8 ball. Who has a burning question to ask burning question. Use 
ball. We live in this tpe of word. We are going to learn the Lords way to 
get answers. DC8:1, 5, 8, 10; (16 things the Lord's ways in these sections)

DC10 The Art of War b Sun Tzu. "Know the enemy and know yourself" t was that 
principal that helped us win WWII. Blitzkrieg (lightening war). Wipe out 
armies fast. Rommel used this in North Africa. Patton came in 8 Nov 1944 
"Woke up at 0300 and it was raining like (heck). I actually got nervous and 
got up and read Rommel's book. Infantry in Attacks. It was most helpful. 
You..I've read your book. Knowing the enemy helped him read it. Sect 10 is 
Satan's war strategies VV20-33 What war strategies are we given that will 
help us win against him. Stirreth, saith, flattereth, telleth.

DC18:10-11 ($20 is it real?) Would you like to have it? What if I crumbled 
it up would you still want it. If smashed it still want it? Is it still of 
worth? V10; remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;;;;;;"a 
semicolon is used to link tow closely related sentences. How related are we? 
V11. We are worth his death. The lord put the value on us when he died for 
us.

DC28: Salt Lake Tribune, Sun, Mar 25, 1979 article study egg found by farmer 
naturally raised that said Final Judgment. Repent, God!! Is is possible that 
god would speak to man by an egg? He might? But if he did D288:2, whose 
refrigerator will it end up in?

DC29 & 45 Baptism Repentance 2nd Coming, Born Again. Which is spoken of most 
in Old and New Testament? Elder Sterling W Sill:
Born Again 9 times
Baptism 52 time
Repentance 89 times

word. Barry is morally clean Ugly Barry was morally clean.

DC42: Color Me. Give the kids coloring books and crayons and have them color 
in as they come in through the devotional. Hold up a few of the pictures 
they colored. What do you have to do to make a picture beautiful. Must stay 
within the lines. (Fog watched white line along side to stay on the road). 
Hat experience is like life. If we stay within the lines Ensign, Nov 1990, 
pg 64. Sect 42. The Lord has drawn the lines for today. Find any phrases 
that the lord give us for the line: v 4 18, v, 22, others

DC46 Russian Doll. How many dolls are in here? Gift of Holy Ghost. It is a 
gift within gifts. Teachers, warns, comforts, guides, protects. For there 
are many gifts, and to EVERY man is give a gift v 11. It is the gift that 
keeps giving. Underline all the gifts.
DC50 Koolaide 2 pitchers. One sweetened with sugar and which is salty. Make 
drink. Can't tell can you by looking at it? So it goes with spiritual things 
2N15:20. Ask: What deceptions are common today? Share, write on board.

edified, rejoice, v23 light, +others

Pour all into a pitcher. How much does each family need. Refill lthe glasses

DC61: Quiz ASK TF The lord cars what you have for breakfast. He cares where 
your family spends vacation? He cares about what colors you wear? Whether

choices we make: 64: Mcllwains's Bend. It mattereth not how you go , just 
go. 60:5, 62:5, 63:40. Some things just don't matter.
