Thank you for such a great discussion. I always learn so much as you testify and teach about the doctrine, principles, and lessons we need to know to help us and those we love in these days as we prepare for the Savior’s second coming. ❤

This is my favorite episode. Thank you both for the reminder about trusting in the rising generation. This is something my Stake leaders have been pushing, but not all of the wards are there yet. I live in a ward where many are newer to the Gospel, so I think that's part of the fear. Plus, we use our past experiences as models, so it's taking time to adjust.

Also, thanks for the discussion about anger. Also, how we can see the imperfections of our leaders and still follow them because we know they are men of God. That being a disciple, regardless of our position, does not mean we're perfect. It means we're repenting daily.

My daughter loves Bonnie. She's a missionary in West Virginia and has met her several times. Thanks Bonnie for helping her. ❤

Many former students would love to know the president’s academic qualifications for her recently obtained position. It seems to start in 2018 with the church.

Excuse me Barbara and Bonnie, I need to interject and correct a thought here. At minute 11:15 Bonnie says, "We are not born being peacemakers". I am sorry you feel that way because I know Heavenly Father does not feel that way at all. He sends us into this mortal life as completely innocent, helpless babies. There are thousands of families who specifically can tell of the peace that a baby brought into their families. There are many millions of mothers that say how their new babies helped the mother have peace in her heart and mind. And then, Heavenly Father knows the innocence of babies and very young children and allows them to become accoutable after their first 8 years of life. What about all the pre-school and first years of school where children pair off as friends with someone of another race and call each other sisters. There are many very young children who naturally have the gift of diplomacy in the sandbox or on the playground. Heavenly Father allows babies and very young children to also have the gift of peacemakers to help their own families.
