*Notes: The numbers listed below are the room numbers in our church building. Some of us will choose the right, some of us will become confused, and need guidance to follow the right path back to our Heavenly Father. Today we are going to hear about several different situations and make several choices. He also has given us teachers and Priesthood leaders to help us stay on the path and get back on the path if we make a wrong choice. Our Heavenly Father wants us to make good choices and helps us choose the right by giving us the Holy Ghost to help lead and guide us. We are all on the right path right now and by choosing the right and avoid temptation, we can continue to progress so that we can live with Heavenly Father again.

The choices we make today about clothing, friends, movies and music can help us to stay on the path, or lead us away from the happiness and closer to Satan. Now that we are here on earth, the choices we make here, every day determine where we are going and where we will end up. Everyone who lives on earth chose to follow Jesus and Heavenly Father*s plan. He said that He would come to earth and be our Savior and Guide. He wanted people to be able to choose for themselves how they would live. He would force everyone to keep the commandments. He said that he would not give people any choices. If you did, you would be able to live with Him again. If you followed His plan, you would come to earth, receive a body, and be tested to see if you would choose to keep His commandments. Heavenly Father held a council with you and all His other spirit children and presented an important plan. Your right to choose was given to you when you lived in Heaven with Heavenly Father and Jesus. Choices are part of the adventure of coming to earth to live.

Making choices is a very important part of life on earth.

1989, 12Ĭhoices! Choices! Life is full of choices! Should you wear your blue shirt or your red one? Should you play a game or do your work? Should you watch TV or read a book? In one version of the story, Marco offers Life Cereal to an injured Yeti, and exclaims, "She likes it!" Not only is it egregious product placement, but it takes the viewer out of the moment and distracts from the fun and storyline.Ideas modified from: Choices and Gospel Guideposts: By Laurel Rohlfing Friend, Feb. Choosing the characters' next move and getting the opportunity to try different approaches to the same situation helps kids learn critical thinking skills.Īnd parents can talk to kids about what's safe: When, if ever, should you go with someone you don't know but says he was sent by your parents? How do you take care of your siblings when you're in a difficult situation? It's a real shame that this well-done DVD is marred by shockingly blatant product placement. Many parents will remember the Choose Your Own Adventure those jigsaw-puzzle stories that let you determine what to do next some found the books laborious and gimmicky, but that's not the case with the DVD version of this concept. The characters are engaging, the animation fluid, the kids are strong but smart, and the adventure is rousing without being too scary for kids. If they don't, they have perilous adventures but always end up safe. Should they parachute out of a failing plane or hold on and hope it lands? Should they go with the man who says he was sent by Uncle Rudy to help them or stay with their sherpa guide? Should they stay the night at the wizened old yak herder's home or try their luck on the cold snow-blown slopes? What would you do? In the end, the DVD has its own moral: If Benjamin, Crista, and Marco stay on course and don't let themselves be distracted, they accomplish their goals and discover a secret about themselves and their parents.

Using the DVD player remote, they choose what they want the kids to do at critical points in the story. When they head out to find their adventure, and so does the viewer.
