[I'm not sure why I didn't ever post this, but after sitting in my drafts for four years, I'm posting it on June 14, 2018. Good times!]
Herman has this thing in our memory box that I really love. When he was in seminary twenty-five years ago studying the Book of Mormon his class made their own "brass plates" that contained their testimonies. It was just a piece of cardboard covered with aluminum foil where they etched their testimonies. When I started teaching seminary I knew that I wanted to do a similar activity with my class. I also thought it would be super cool to bury the plates somewhere and then dig them back up when we studied the Doctrine and Covenants and learned about the time when Joseph Smith dug up the golden plates leading up to the publishing of the Book of Mormon.
On the last day of seminary in May my little class of twelve students took some time to etch our testimonies on our very own plates.

After putting our testimonies of Jesus Christ on our plates we headed to the back of the church to bury them [See the following post].
