Teaching

So there is a cool model her at BYU idaho called the learning model. One of its focuses is on teaching one another. I think that is so crucial for us as a family. We all need to learn and we all have different experiences that allow us to grow. I have been thinking about the talk entitled "It is Never too Early and Its Never too Late". It is a good one from last conference. In it a member from the seventy talks about how he learned a great example from interviewing a young man for his mission. This young man's father would take him aside and say when you get about this age you will have to watch out for this. Anyway he decided to apply that principle to his life knowing that it was never to early or too late to do so. As siblings and as parents for a lot of you, I think that this principle is applicable to the whole family. We can all learn from each other. my religion teacher was sharing a principle that Elder Scott taught. It we want our youth to live the gospel they need to teach it. "A testimony is gained in the bearing of it" as President Packer shared. As we teach we help ourselves and others. It is also easier to learn from peers and from those that have experiences we can relate too.

Look for a life update soon
