Dear Class,
Good
morning, wonderful brothers and sisters! You made it through the
Introductory Week, and we're ready to launch into a typical work week in
our class, wherein you will complete three lessons. The lessons are due
on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (by 11:58 pm), so you will want to
begin working on the lessons for this week
right away. I am so pleased that everyone completed their Introductory
Lesson work last week (with the exception of two students who added
late, and who may turn their Intro work in by this evening).
Make
sure to submit all your work on time for the rest of the semester.
Remember, the late work policy for our class states that, "Late work is not accepted on the 38 lessons or the final assessment."
You will submit three major papers during this class, and they will
receive a 10% late penalty per day after the specified deadline. The
late policy is fairly strict, but it will enable you to stay on track
with the rest of the class.
Finally,
I would love to share a spiritual experience with you to help you start
the work week off right. I loved the Devotional on Tuesday, wherein
President Clark talked about how learning is hard work (and I have
posted a link to the devotional in Notes from Sister Bowen / Q&A this week, if you missed the devotional and would like to watch it).
Last
week, as I was doing my homework for this class, I felt a little sorry
for myself. I would have liked to hang out with my husband or read
"Rilla of Ingleside" during my down time, but I knew I had work to do. I
settled down to read, and loved that I ultimately achieved all my work
goals last week (staying one week ahead of the class on assignments).
Watching the devotional reminded me that "Who [I am] becoming has
everything to do with the details of [my] life" and spending time on my
homework will help me "increase in power to know, to do, and to become."
I believe, like President Clark, that hard work and humility allow the
Holy Ghost to teach us. I am so, SO glad we have a chance to learn so
much in our class. I would love to hear your thoughts on the devotional
in the Q & A section of my Notes from Sister Bowen this week.
I am with you every step of the way, I am here to help you, and I am praying for your success and happiness.
Love,
Sister Bowen
