  1. Index finger pointing up to God--The Godhead
  2. Two fingers, seperated - Adan and Eve, first people on earth, Adam  transgressions

  4. Four fingers separated - First principles and ordinances
  5. Five fingers, separated and hortizontal, palm down - Laying on of hands
  6. LH 5 fingers, RH index finger -- make church steeple wrapping 5 fingers  around index finger - Same organization - there are actually 6 parts mentioned here
  7. LH 5 fingers, RH 2 fingers - 2 fingers (Like a tongue) between LH four fingers and thumb - Gifts - there are 7 mentioned here
  8. LH closed 5 fingers, palm up (Like a book), RH 3 fingers reading LH book  - Bible and Book of Mormon
