our relief society pres gave the lesson this week and had some great object lessons. thought i would share.
sit someone at a table with a can of peaches and an apple. they may sit and eat peaches as long as they want, it will never run out. they must stay there though and can't share it with anyone else. they can choose to eat the apple but then they must leave the table and never return. but, if they choose the apple, it will benefit billions of other people.
i missed the scripture for that but obviously the choice that adam and eve made. a friend of mine explained that any woman who wanted a baby but was not able to have children would understand why eve made the decision to eat. a mother's instinct and drive to have children would be enough for her, even in her naive and childlike state, to take steps to be a mother.
tell someone they will receive a large reward if they only choose the right / make good decisions all day long. can they do that? there are no rules, just choose the right.
if there are no rules, how can you choose the right? there are no rules so not defined right, therefore it is impossible to choose the right. 2 nephi 2 : 11-13

show someone an empty table and tell them they may choose any one thing from the table to keep. there is no choice.
2 nephi 2:16
lay a few of the same exact thing on the table and and offer them any one of them they want. when they choose, pull out a different option and ask why they didn't take that one. (she used plain granola bars and then pulled out a chocolate bar)
you can't choose something you don't know. relates to the first one about choosing the tree of knowledge.
2 nephi 2:16 (i think. i am translating and numbers still mess me up sometimes) helaman 14:30-31
place two things on a table. tell them to choose one. as they go to choose, take it yourself or swipe it off the table. this worked the first time but she got it the second time. they ended up with the other thing flying off the table too. it was pretty funny.
2 nephi 2:27 again, you can't choose if someone takes your choice from you, satan's plan.
she also made the point that if there was no choice, there would be no need for a savior. without choice, there is no sin so no salvation would be needed.
if there was no savior, the choice wouldn't matter because no matter our choice, we cannot achieve salvation on our own.
