Welcome to Seminary

Welcome to seminary. I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to be part of the seminary program and to be able to serve as your teacher this year. This will be an incredible year to grow in testimony and to come closer to our Saviour as we study the Book of Mormon. There is great power in the words found in the Book of Mormon, and if we learn to live the principles that are found in these great scriptures it will have the power to change your life forever.
May the Lord bless each of us,
Sister Bergeson



“Young men, (and women) the Book of Mormon will change your life. It will fortify you against the evils of our day. It will bring a spirituality into your life that no other book will. It will be the most important book you will read in preparation for a mission and for life.
A young man (or woman) who knows and loves the Book of Mormon, who has read it several times, who has an abiding testimony of its truthfulness, and who applies its teachings will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and will be a mighty tool in the hands of the Lord.”
Ezra Taft Benson, “To the ‘Youth of the Noble Birthright,’ ” Ensign, May 1986, 43
