Gospel Doctrine

Before the opening prayer the teacher started making the rounds, passing a bamboo kebab skewer to each class member.  "Everybody gets a stick, everybody gets a stick.  OK, here's your stick.  Everyone gets to participate because that's how we learn by the spirit.  Don't poke each other, they're sharp, ha.  We're going to pass out these sticks.  Alright, last one.  Now I need two volunteers.  Alright, sister, I need you to break your stick."  The sister easily snaps it in two.  "Alright, second volunteer, here's our second volunteer.  OK, who loves this brother?  Who will give him their stick?  He needs your sticks."  Class members slowly begin to pass their sticks to the brother one by one.  He ends up with perhaps 16 skewers.  "He's going to try to break these sticks, but he'll find it's harder.  When we're united, we can't be broken."  With a great crack bambo dust bursts into the air and all over the brother's pants as he breaks all the skewers together in a feat of strength.
