Episode notes
Adult Leaders Credit Primary Teachers For Testimony
- A stake president introduced his tiny former primary teacher, saying she taught him songs that became his earliest testimony.
- Many adult priesthood leaders still credit primary teachers for foundational faith.
Engage Children With All Their Senses
- Engage children using all their senses: let them see, hear, feel, and participate so they 'bear record' as the Savior did with the Nephites.
- Use interactive activities rather than lecturing to create lasting faith experiences.
Choose Callings That Stretch You
- Accept callings that stretch you as opportunities to increase spiritual capacity and learn to do things the Lord’s way.
- If a calling feels 'over your head,' let it invite growth rather than retreat.
