What a blessing to have made Institute a priority. I graduated last 2009 (the same time I graduated from College). Butch graduated March of this year both in College and in the Institute. I also received my Advanced Achievement this year!
Plus, we both met at the Institute a long time ago. But the love sparked in the later years. Haha! Here are some words from our dear prophet how the Institute can nourish our lives.
President Thomas S. Monson
“If you are a single college student, I ask you to make
participation in institute a priority. Married students and other young
adults are also welcome and encouraged to attend. Think of it. Friends
will be made, the Spirit will be felt, and faith will be strengthened. I
promise you that as you participate in institute and study the
scriptures diligently, your power to avoid temptation and to receive
direction of the Holy Ghost in all you do will be increased. Divine
favor will attend those who humbly seek it. That is a promise which I
leave with you. ”President Thomas S. Monson (April 21, 2009)
President Gordon B. Hinckley
“We urge all for whom [institute] is available to take advantage of it. We do not hesitate to promise that your knowledge of the gospel will be increased, your faith will be strengthened, and you will develop wonderful associations and friendships.”President Gordon B. Hinckley (in Conference Report, April 1984, 69; or Ensign, May 1984, 47)
