Seek After the One
I was raised in a loving, gospel centered home by parents who understood our eternal natures; who loved the Lord and who taught their children to do likewise. From their example I learned how to make correct choices; choices that have abundantly blessed my life. I have had multiple, and varied opportunities to teach, both secularly and spiritually (missionary service, gospel doctrine, RS, primary, etc.), but as with most things in this life there is still much to learn.
With that said, I would describe my approach to teaching the gospel as a journey, a "trek of treks " wherein I consistently strive to align my will with Father's and perpetually seek to understand my role in helping His children return to His presence. As a professional educator I have always found it more effective to "show versus tell" so I invite you to walk with me along my pathway of discipleship (click on the link below):
