2.    Write a response to the question: What do I know about the Savior, how have ​I learned it, and what am I doing with what I know?

There are many things that I know about the Savior. From a very young age, I have learned about the Savior's life. From the beginning when Mary was told she was to conceive him, up until He was resurrected. I know that the Savior was sent down to this earth to perform miracles, teach the people, be the greatest example, and to die for us so that we can return to live with Him again. I have learned it through primary, sunday school, seminary, and now college classes. Now I am putting that knowledge into my primary lessons and helping participate in religion classes at BYU-Idaho. I hope to put my knowledge to the test many times in the future as well!
