My institute teacher is the best. I used to be in a different class, but I didn't like the teacher at all, so I switched, and I'm so glad I did. I'm now in a D&C class. My teacher, Bro. Krebs, is amazing. He brings the spirit to the class everyday, but he also makes the lessons really fun. He is full of funny stories, and awesome one-liners. Here's a few. :)
Krebs: "You should take institute."
Girl: "I know.."
Krebs: "You're husband's there."
Girl: "Um.. I'm not married.."
Krebs: "Exactly!"
*Talking to a guy in class*
Krebs: "What's a must-have quality in girls you date?"
Guy: *Showing his wedding ring* "I've already got my eternal date."
*Talking about qualities of priesthood holders in section 121*
"Men if you want the priesthood, be a woman!"
*Random things he's said in class*
"Behind every great guy, there's a suprise mother-in-law."
"I'm an open book, it's just the cover that's ugly."
"If you ever want to feel better about yourself, just watch youtube."
"It's okay to look stupid, because someone else will always make you look great."
"Life's a crap-sandwhich, and each day's another bite."
"Look in the scriptures, God never destroys a city with righteous people in it... California better be grateful for the LDS people there..."
"I always thought Noah must've been a crappy missionary. He preached for years, and God drowned all his investigators."
"Either a talk from a prophet or a football game will humble a BYU student."
"The Second Coming is Wednesday.... I mean the lesson!"
*Just a few things I really love that I've gotten from his class.*
-Happiness is just as much fun to remember as it is to do.
-The gospel is beautifly simple, and simply beautiful.
-You don't need to "eat" all of the atonment, you only need a little taste. Christ suffered through the atonment so we don't have to.
-"Take up your cross" means deny yourself of all ungodliness, and every worldly lust, and keep his commandments. (Matt 16:25-26)
-"Elect" means to be elected to a certain work. (D&C 25)
-Everytime Christ has come to the Earth, he has had the sacrement with someone.
-Satan changed his tactics, he can't stop temples from being built, but he can stop people form going to them.
-The closer the Second Coming gets, the more calm the saints will be.
-"The end of the world is the end of unrightousness or of worldliness as we know it." -Bruce R. McConkie
-God gave us the spirit of faith, not fear.
I know this was kind of a different post, but I just felt like I needed to share it. I am so grateful for institute, it means the world to me. I know this church is true. God lives. Thomas S. Monson is the prophet, through him we can learn what God would have us do. I know Christ suffered for me; I can repent and live with him again. I know when I do what I am supossed to, my life is so much calmer. The gospel is peace. The gospel is truth. I know this and believe it with all my heart.
