Our first guest speaker, Mo, will be speaking to us on July 5th at 6:30 pm at the Johnson home. We will briefly discuss the articles we read and then listen to his story.
Mo (his name is Muhammad but he now goes by Mo) was born and raised in Sierra, Lione as a Muslim. He came to America to participate in the Atlanta Olympics for his country. He was introduced to the LDS church while he stayed in America to go to college. He converted and was cutoff and disowned by his family.
I can't wait to listen to his experiences!
Here are the insprirements to come prepared with:
1. Read: https://rsc.byu.edu/archived/selected-articles/god-s-love-mankind
2. Read: https://rsc.byu.edu/archived/selected-articles/understanding-islam
OR watch: https://youtu.be/M40mVocHcew
OR listen to: A Latter Day Look at Islam by Daniel C. Petterson (you can find it at Seagull Book)
OR read/listen/watch 2 or all three of the above. I learned cool, interesting, and relevant stuff from each one.
3. Think of a question you'd like to ask your peers or our guest speaker.
*Our next activity about the Middle East will be an art project by Bro. Pack and a discussion on the book, "My Name Used to Be Muhammad" - so start reading it if you'd like to come! (See the previous post about content). It will probably be on Wednesday July 13th from 11-1 or the following Wednesday.
