This week I have been ... Visiting Teaching ...

This week I have spent some time with my friends visiting teaching. I am so grateful for this programme in the church, it's so great to get together and just talk. I have been so super busy over the last few weeks, I really had to struggle to find the time, but it was definitely just what I needed, to spend time with people I really love and admire.

So the message to teach to each other this month was about our responsibility to teach the rising generation. It was a good message. I have pondered it and thought about what I shared, and feel disappointed that my heart wasn't in it. So I'm doing a 'do-over' and sharing my thoughts with you.

I switched on my computer this morning to find a talk Jason had been reading by Elder Robert D. Hales, he had been using it to prepare his training lesson for the church youth leaders this evening. I thought I would read it through for my early morning study this morning. I was impressed with something he said in relation to teaching our children -

"There is no substitute for seeing the gospel lived in our daily lives. The stripling warriors did not have to wonder what their parents believed. They said, “We do not doubt our mothers knew it” (see Alma 56:47–48). Do our children know what we know?"

This is the message I wanted to share whilst visiting teaching. It reminded me of a recent church message that I really enjoyed watching, hope you enjoy it too.
