Become/Serve

-The theme for Vanguard this year is light. We will be going on a field trip to the Historic Crandall Printing Museum.  In that museum you will see examples of three different printing presses.  Each of these presses brought forth more light in the world. Gutenberg, by putting books and especially the scriptures into the hands of the people. The press that the Declaration of Independence was printed on, by bringing more light to the world with the beginning of the United States and the first republic.  And then the press the Book of Mormon was printed on, bringing the light of the restored gospel back to earth.  These are only three examples of an invention that has brought forth more light to the world.  What are some other things that have brought more light into the world. Journal for 10 minutes.
