Lesson 4!

This week's lesson was a little different than I'm used to.  We talked a little bit about a more touchy subject to some people.  We talked about same sex attraction.  Usually when this topic comes up I start to feel really uncomfortable, and probably mostly because I knew nothing about it.  In our lessons this week we watched videos and heard a lot of discussions about the topic, and I realized that I am really quick to judge.  There is a lot more background behind same sex attraction than I really thought, and there is usually a reason as to why some people feel the need to be attracted to someone of the same sex.  I have noticed in the past week since we studied it, that I have stopped myself from judging, or feeling as uncomfortable when the subject of same sex attraction is brought up.  And I am thankful that we were able to talk about it so that those judging feelings could go away.  I am also thankful for my life, and for all the blessings that I have, and that I don't have to go through really difficult trials that might bring me to a situation like that.  I am thankful for eternal families, and the opportunity I will get to be sealed in the temple to my future husband and eternal companion.  I hope that I can be someone who is strong enough to set a good example to others, and maybe even someday be able to help those who want to change.

Here is a video that we watched to prepare for our class discussion. It really helps explain a lot about same sex attraction.
