Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

How Cool is This?




So in 4th grade we study Utah History and compare it to Asia and Japan. Since Ryan served his mission in Japan he agreed to bring stuff and taught all 6 of our classes for 30 minutes about Japanese Culture. It was really fun and I was able to take down so boards and do some grading during the presentations. It was really fun and the kids learned alot. Thanks so much honey for agreeing to teach 180 ten year olds about Japan!

Kerri! I am wondering.... maybe Ryan should go into teaching too! He appears to be a natural!
