We had elder Cook speak to us this weekend, and over the past 6 months, in conferences, general conference, etc, they have talked about 3 of the most important principles for our lives:
1. Personal and family prayer
2. Personal and family scripture study
3. Family Home Evening.
We heard a story of a young convert, who was about 10. She was the only person in her family that was baptized, and heard about FHE in primary. She asked her family to help her do it, but they weren't interested. So, what do you do? You can't do family home evening without family, right?
Wrong.
She got all of her dolls, put them in a circle, gave them all assignments, and did her own family home evening every week. She did it, even throughout her teens and college years, with just her and her dolls. The man speaking to us said he was proud to say that now she is married in the temple, and has family home evening every week with her husband and child. That was a great story for us.
I was wondering if you still do family scripture study and prayer, and FHE? I know it was hard for us with all of our schedules never matching up, but looking back, I'm so grateful for those nights in your room or by the fireplace, reading, learning, putting those stickers on our scriptures. Those are treasured memories that have taught me the fundamental principles of the gospel.
You may already be doing this, that just came to mind. Thank you for being such wonderful parents and doing everything out of love.
I love you guys!
Elder Franchina
