The Best of EFY (Jade's Perspective)

The first guy talked about the importance of family. He said without family we would not be here. The son is Adam, the moon is Eve. Adam means man, and Eve means life. Without an Eve we would not be here, and if Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit we would not have a purpose in life.

I learned today that two days after Adam was made he became very lonely so Heavenly Father made animals out of the ground. All the aminals there are today and he named them. To Adam how people say dog is man best friend. None of this cheered Adam so God put him in a deep sleep, took a rib and put him to sleep. The cool thing is Heavely Father could have taken any part of his body but he took a rib from close to his heart. So this means that Eve is clease to his heart.

And soon after Adam awakened from his sleep, Adam found Eve, then the fall came because they ate the fruit. We read Genisis 2:4 D&C 28:15 Those to scriptures stood out to me.

The second guy talked about the importance of family and love. Without love there would be no church and the would be like black water. As he talked he pulled up 3 boys. Christian, Dan, and Greg. He asked them what families meant to them. Greg said families are a mom, dad and children without any of those we would just have peoiple and spiritis wandering around. Without spirits there would be no love, mom, dad, or priesthood. When Jesus was on the earth he taught that we are supposed to have families help make the priesthood stronger. Without the priesthood we would not have families or Heavenly Father.

Mr Scott taught us that names do not just pop up they mean something like the naming of the church. Like the name The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints was made before the earth was even made. And it actually means the one and only Son of God, The Savior, Beloved Mosiah, Belongs to One (I think I got it right). That is what the church's true name means.

And then he talked about famous celebreties. This one celebrety he renamed himself as Fifty-Cent (I forgot his real name) and Jack Black his real name is Thomas Black. Then there is someone whose name was just pink, she changed her name too. He went through a lot of people then told the story of his first child Jacob, he was going to name him Skywalker (something). They had picked out the name Jacob Skywalker. But when I looked at my wives eyes I could not so I named him Jacob Scott.

Apparently, there is a secret rule that babies love to be bounced. The second kid was Ryan Conner. They were orriginally going to name him Larrs Cogar, and again he made the mistake using eye contact with his wife. Her eyes said you will die with that name/ So he named him Ryan Conner. His third kid they were so hoping it was going to be a girl. When they found out it was going to be a boy at family home evening they named the last kid. They voted. The names were Hunter, Luke, and Ashton.

They taped the names to balls and let the dog pick the name. Threw the balls down the stairs and let the dog bring the balls back. He brought back Luke Ashton twice.

The final was the testimony of a bishop thanking us for being here.

The dinner was pizza, burritos, and water.

My favorite part was when this guy had to do a prayer three times because he kept messing up. On his final try he remembered the words and blessed the food.

Oh we also learned a song from Mr Scott, called "Let this Light of Mine Shine"
