On Saturday I attended a world wide leadership broadcast for all adult members of our church. The topic was Building up a Righteous Posterity and the discussion was all about families, particulary the Proclamation to the World. I do not have my notes right here with me but I learned several things from the talk and discussion. I learned more about my role as a husband and father. I also gained some insights into marriage and family relationships that I can use in my current role as Bishop when couples and families come to me seeking counseling and guidance.
After the passing of President Hinckley last week, the church received a new President, Thomas S. Monson. The portion of the broadcast were he spoke was recorded after he became President. I sat there in our chapel and recieved my own personal revelation that he was called of God and was the next President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The spirit let me know that I should sustain him even though we were not asked to do so today.
On Sunday, I learned during our Sunday School Lesson, that If I have not leared from my children that I should " Watch Out". This is what the teacher said in reference to Nephi teaching and most likely saving his father (spiritually) while in the wilderness. If you read the part in 1 Nephi were the bow is broken, everyone begins to mumur and if you read it carefully it talks about how Nephi said many words to those who where with him, including his parents and in particular Lehi. We do not have those words as part of the record but it does say that Lehi listened. I can say that I have learned plenty from my two children and I am confident that I will continue to learn more.
