teachers

for family home evening we have been going through the - for the strength of youth booklet - kents mom gave us a neat little study guide to go with it and since kelsi is going into young womens soon we thought this would be good, so we were talking on the section about friends and we started discussing a quote by President Joseph Smith:
"It mattereth not whether the principle is popular or unpopular, I will always maintain a true principle, even if I stand alone in it."
and one of my kids said but really we never stand alone, my primary teacher says that our Heavenly Father and Jesus are always with us. i am so glad that my children have such good teachers- and even though i'm sure they wonder if anyone is ever listening, especially my kids:) they are! two teaching moments that i can remember most is when i was in primary and our singing leader was trying to tell us of the importance of singing and i can remember her saying that when we sing we are showing our heavenly father how much we love him and he gave us our voices so he wants to hear everyone...now i always sing no matter how i sound, and i know it's not great. and i can remember a lesson in mutual about how our future children are watching us at this moment and that they are rooting us on: for me alot of decisions that i had i would really think- would i want my kids to see me do this and i just really didn't want to ever disappoint them!
