B of M Presentation!!

So here I am again!! I have a presentation in Book of Mormon today!! I'm really stoked! This is probably my favorite part of religion classes!! (Well this is the first time I've done it at college but I LOVED doing it in seminary!) I'm supposed to bring into my presentation the verses we have been reading for the week (Alma 31-35). I have to have a visual (I have 4 :)) and it needs to be between 3 and 5 minutes.

My visuals are below:


Now you may be wondering what this has to do with the scriptures...well I'll tell you!

All I really know anything about is sheep...that is kind of sad to say but it is true! My whole life I've been around them and worked with them. I've created an analogy with these pictures for my presentation. The sheep represent us. We are helpless and need to be taught and led the way to go. The wold represents sin. Sheep run away from the wolf because they know that he will hurt them, just as we run away from sin because we know it will hurt us. The wolf in sheep's clothing represents Anti-Christs (Korihor in this section, and Satan.) The wolf is disguised to appear harmless and gains the trust of the sheep just as the Anti-Christs disguise their lies to appear that they know what is best and want what is best for the people they are teaching. The Great Pyrenees represents the prophets under God's direction and Jesus Christ. The Great Pyrenees is always there to protect the sheep and comes running when he hears their call or senses distress in them. Just as Jesus and our Heavenly Father are there for us, they hear and answer our prayers and know when we need their help and guidance. They do this either directly or through their prophets.
Now this may seem a little far fetched but I thought it was appropriate for what we were discussing! I hope that you read these verses and take into perspective how much our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ love us and are here for us! They will always provide and be here for us!
