“The goal of gospel teaching . . . is not to ‘pour information’ into the minds of class members. . . . The aim is to inspire the individual to think about, feel about, and then do something about living gospel principles”

"We will return to the Holy Land... like a magnet is drawing us in. Some will literally come back, some only by the power of the Spirit. It won't matter because we will remember in clarity--the colors, smells, sensations, sites, and people."
