And the new DVD's are so great..........when a lesson has a quote from a
prophet or general authority, quite often that quote is on our new DVD. I
have been utilizing them in our class and they seem much more meaningful
that the teacher reading it!

I find that nearly all and perhaps all of the seminary students in our
ward know the apostles by sight. I think some of the very simple things
that I have done have brought that to their memory bank.
*Hanging on the bulletin board, all seminary year is the official
picture of each apostle in the order of seniority. With that mounted on
heavy navy paper with a ivory paper is their name, birth date and
place, and date that they were ordained an apostle.
*Anytime that I read a quote of one of the apostles I encourage them to
look on their picture so that they can associate the face with the
quote.
*On occasion I have had them make and present general authority (I
haven't done this in a number of years, if I am teaching seminary next
year I will do this since all of these students will not have had the
honor of doing this.) The great love that the students gained for their
apostle was tremendous. They presented them close to the day or 1/2
year day of their birthday. I remember that the year President Uchtdorf
and Elder Bednar weren't yet called as apostles and my middle daughter
got a slip of paper that said "New Apostle #1" then the second time she
drew a slip it said "New Apostle #2". Christi absolutely LOVES these
two men and I believe that a great part of that comes from making and
presenting them to us! I included all 15 apostles (First Presidency
included).

As a side note ... just as a fetish of mine I have a Current Apostle
Chart on my computer. It is arranged in several ways, longest seniority
to newest, oldest to youngest, age at becoming an apostle,
education/career. I think it is five different charts on the same word
document. I refer to different parts depending on what information I
want or am curious about. I have a similar one for the Presidents of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (I have also a word
document of all of the temples with the date of announcement,
groundbreaking, dedication, length of time between groundbreaking and
dedication, rededication date.)

Each of these charts have evolved through the years. They are a work in
progress since new Temples are announced and dedicated, new men are
called, it is part of the living church that we are in! Especially the
Temple one took a lot of time to do but it is something that I do look
at often.

If anyone is interested in any of these documents I can send them to
them privately. PLEASE DO NOT JUST PRESS REPLY AND SAY "ME TOO!" Just
copy and paste my address in the to line and it will work! I'm not
really sure that the web site would be interested in this.
