blog: Teaching and learning walk hand and hand, as we teach we should also learn and some of the best teachers are children. Right now we are teaching a few part member kids and it has been fun. They naturally want to learn to follow Jesus, they are so humble, and open. A young man named Jackson, is so smart and asks good questions and is so willing to learn. Another, named Alex came with us to the temple with his brother and loved it so much and felt it's importance so strongly that he told us he wanted to change his whole life, stop fighting with his brother and start listening to his mom, and spend more time at home, and not on the street, and that he wanted to go to church. The #1 thing he wanted to do with his life was to prepare to be worthy to enter the temple and to serve a mission. Alex did a beautiful 180 with his life so he can follow Jesus, Alex is 9 years old. All of these kids love the Lord and know he is real and have seen miracles already in their young lives. I know that if we watch children, under the direction of the Holy Ghost we will see the best teachers we can have and if we follow THEIR small simple examples we to can see miracles in our lives through our faith. If we become child-like: humble, meek, brave, trusting, loving, firm in mind, and the most important, obedient to God's commandments, I know we will be blessed.
love you all,
