Building Testimonies

“All we ask of you is that in the hearts of these children who come under your watch, care and direction, you will so inspire them that nothing in this world will be dearer to them than the Gospel.” -President Ezra Taft Benson

That's my goal. Always has been, always will be. That the children I associate with, laugh with, feel the Spirit with and love deeply will have nothing that matters more to them in their lives than the gospel. I believe that this generation of children is smarter, stronger-willed and more in tune with the Spirit than ever before. I feel so deeply the responsibility I have to teach them, nurture them and love them.

I want to see them soaking up their scriptures. I want to hear them singing the Primary songs together and feeling the Spirit as they do. I want their testimonies to take root and begin to flourish. I know they will need that knowledge and strength as they progress through their lives.

I love each one and want more than anything to inspire them, that the love of the gospel is buried deep in their hearts.
