2.12.08..Salut tout le monde...Classes today were fantastic. Brother Welch is a never-ending spring of knowledge. He says that when one has a testimony, the black-and-white facts just make the Book of Mormon that much neater. For example, today we discussed the multiple authorship and writing styles in the Book of Mormon. He told us that the word "omnipotent" is used only five times in the entire book. King Benjamin is the only one who uses that term, and it makes sense that he would, because he, being a king, would refer to God as King. Just as Alma, being a judge, refers to God as the great Judge. Nephi refers to Him as "the Son" and "the begotten Son" as he too is a son following his father's model of righteousness. Our homework is to find two artifacts in the Louvre from the near East that shed light on beliefs, symbols, practices etc..in the Book of Mormon then write a detailed analysis of them and memorized two of the verses in French! I am really looking forward to finding my two tomorrow! I'm also reading the last act of L'école des femmes tonight, and next Wednesday we get to see it performed at a big theatre in Paris! Valentine's Day is Thursday and I can't wait to see how the most romantic city in the world celebrates it! Well, school is getting busier, but I'll try to keep updating as often as possible!
