We went to the temple Friday night with all of Nathan's siblings and most spouses and an aunt, uncle and Gammie! It was so so great and I got to do some family names so that was great. Then, Sat night we went to Stake Conference with Elder Nelson and Elder Kacher and Sunday too!!
It was really special and I was praying that he would remember the kids and that they could shake his hand. When he got up to speak on Sunday morning, he remembered the children first and had all kids stand up and sing I am a Child of God. He sang with them and it was really touching.
Then he continued to tell us to teach them that they really are children of God and teach them about the creation, how we were created.
He said he gave us Aging--so we would not be stranded on planet earth forever (Dallas thought that was so funny)
Heavenly Father wants us to return home to Him
He told us to teach our children about:
Jesus Christ- , the sacrament-that they are emblems of his atonement--to remember the shedding of his blood so that we will have immortality
He said regarding teaching our children:
Take them to the temple. Let them touch the walls. Put a Picture of a temple on the wall in your home. . Make room for The Lord and His temple.
Understand what it means to be a prophet-- each dispensation has ended in apostasy. This will not end in apostasy. It will fill the entire earth.
God has always worked through imperfect people, except Christ.
Prophet Joseph Smith accomplished so much. He translated the Book of Mormon 8 pages per day-
Follow the prophet! Today, when people translate, they only translate 1 page per day.
Teach children Importance of scriptures-
Make time for scriptures with the children.
Have them memorize your voice reading scriptures.
Do not stop bc it's too hard. Including FHE.,
Teach them the Real meanings of the priesthood restored to the earth. Other religions do not have a leader on earth today. We do.
Teach your children importance of family. Satan attacks family.
Love your spouse- Have pictures of your family on the wall.
Plague of pornagraphy. Protect the children. More damaging then Ebola. Build in them their own power to turn off , walk out. Not worthy of a child of god.
Be Obedient to the word of wisdom.
Importance of education-- spiritual responsibility. Intelligence will go with them.
Teach them to be Good citizens, honor flag, constitution,
Precious children.
Feast on the word. Disciples of Jesus Christ. By your example, you will be good missionaries.
Those are my notes. Just thought I would put them down. The girls ran up after it was over and got to shake his hand. My prayers were answered and I know Heavenly Father heard them. What a special experience. I hope I can do those things!
