We are responsible for our own learning

After going through this incredible summer of gospel learning I am so super excited to dive into this new curriculum.  COME FOLLOW ME for Individuals and Families  Especially with the opening question. What seek ye? How incredible that the Lord reaches out and asks. And then helps us know that he will answer our individual questions. And so in preparation for the learning we are going to be experiencing I asked my family last week in FHE to ponder and get ready to ask God what they want to know, and be prepared because I know He will answer! They all wrote their answers in their journals. We had a family council where we wrote down all the things that we seek as individuals and then we talked as a family. 

“What seek ye?” Jesus asked His disciples (John 1:38). You might ask yourself the same question—for what you find in the New Testament this year will greatly depend on what you seek. “Seek, and ye shall find” is the Savior’s promise (Matthew 7:7). So ask the questions that come to your mind as you study, and then seek diligently for answers. In the New Testament you will read about the powerful spiritual experiences of disciples of Jesus Christ. As a faithful disciple of the Savior, you can have your own powerful spiritual experiences as you accept the Savior’s invitation, found throughout this sacred volume, “Come, follow me” (Luke 18:22).

So what are my questions? 

I want to learn to be consistent. How can I change?
I want to have daily promptings from the Holy Ghost so that I can help my family return to Father!
What can I do to come closer to the Holy Ghost?

What were the families Questions? What did they Seek?

Man these were really humbling things that they wanted.
They hope for a stable home that we don't have to rent and worry about where are we going next.
They wanted another Dog (A big one says Liam)
They hope for more LOVE in our family. Tarin said that would mean we spend more time together doing things that are not electronic.
They want more Happiness. Conor said he would think more about how we could have it.
They want to be proactive in spiritual and temporal things, fhe family prayer scripture study and being on schedule. So tonight I put a schedule together for the family.

I'm hoping we can look back on this year and see that as we serve God and try to study and live the gospel we can knock and it will be opened to us :)
