So, one of the requirements of BYU/living at my apartment is going to institute if you aren't enrolled in a religion class. I had never been to institute before and I kind of avoided it like the plague. However, I figured that it was an experience that every good little Mormon kid should have. When I found out that our stake president, President Mullen, and his wife were teaching institute I decided that the time had finally come for me to attend on last Thursday.
The journey to the church was not very long. My friend Melissa went with me. We went in my jeep with the top down. It was wonderful. We finally got into the church and we sat somewhere in the middle, because I didn't want to sit up front and my friends didn't want to sit in the back. The lesson was great. We learned about 3Nephi 23-27. We learned about the importance of keeping a record. When we don't keep a record, important things are lost. We also learned that Jesus said that his church should be called after his name. If it is called after the name of a man, it would be that man's church. In all, the lesson was terrific.
After the lesson, they provided us with a dinner of spaghetti. It wasn't very filling, so Melissa and I decided to go for a DTR (Del Taco Run). Altogether, this was a very good/uplifting evening.
