Yummy Object Lesson

For Zone Leader Council this month Elder Knight and Elder Knowlton who are the Assistants to the President, used a chocolate fountain to show how teaching with the Holy Ghost flows from the President to the Assistants, to the Zone Leaders, to the District Leaders, to the missionaries who are then able to coat the investigators (the fruit) by teaching with the power of the Holy Ghost in preparation for baptism. I never realized how much a chocolate fountain resembles roasting marshmellows over a campfire, and our Zone Leaders loved it.
