Have you ever had that time where your Aunt Susan or some other person wants to show you all the pictures she has of her last vacation full of people and places you don’t know and don’t care about?  

Or maybe you’ve been the one that experienced something totally amazing, but when you try to tell others about it you just can’t convey the impact it had on you?

There are just some things that can’t be known except by experiencing them yourself. 

 Elder Jan Newman, 2nd counselor in the General Sunday School made this comment, “Children inherit many things from their parents, but a testimony is not one of them.  We can’t give our children a testimony any more than we can make a seed grow.  But we can provide a nourishing environment so that our children can find a place for that seed and discover for themselves that the seed is good….  Everyone who teaches in the home and at church can offer to others the opportunity to have their own spiritual experiences…. Where they can come to know the truth of all things.”

In today’s episode, we talk about the importance of creating spiritual experiences for our children.  

We also invite you to share in an experience we have created for you to help you understand more fully the things we’ve been talking about.
