"From the limited perspective of those who do not have knowledge, understanding, or faith in the Father’s plan—who look at the world only through the lens of mortality with its wars, violence, disease, and evil—this life can seem depressing, chaotic, unfair, and meaningless. Church leaders have compared this perspective with someone walking into the middle of a three-act play.³ Those without knowledge of the Father’s plan do not understand what happened in the first act, or the 
pre-mortal existence, and the purposes established there; nor do they understand the clarification and resolution that come in the third act, which is the glorious fulfillment of the Father’s plan."

The Songs they could not sing Quentin L Cook

“You have been divided into teams.  Each team has an official spokesperson.  I will ask a question - - you may discuss the answer among yourselves and as soon as you have an answer send your spokesman up to ring this bell and answer.  The first team to correctly answer the question receives 10 points.  The other teams will then have to compete in a challenge.  I will read the challenge and they will quickly send forward the people who will participate.  Some challenges require one person, some more than one person.  Your team may send who they choose, but everyone on the team should participate in at least one challenge at some point.  Don’t keep sending the same person time after time.  The team who wins the challenge is awarded five points and the team who loses the challenge gets 0 points.”

--- Then a # and letter or color/shape is called 

--If a girl is in the chair the guy running has to kiss the girl in the chair before the girl running kisses him. 

--If a guy is in the chair the girl running has to kiss him before the guy running kisses her. 

--What ever gender is kissed has to go in the middle and the other gender gets a point.
