Learning Our Guts Out

We've spent most of the week in Provo learning our guts out at Education Week.

We brought these girls with us on Tuesday and they ate it up!

They take such pretty notes...

One of my favorite parts of the day was discussing all the good stuff we'd learned over dinner...

Emmy wants everyone to know that even though she was in BYU she wasn't of BYU.

She got to see her favorite USU Institute teacher of all time, Brother Steven Hunsaker.

Kev and I have taken his classes and we can totally see why he's the favorite.

Look who else we got to hang out with...

I only dozed a couple of times.

9 hours of class a day is exhausting but we love it!

One of my favorite teachers was the Richard Gilmore look-alike.

He looked, talked and acted just like Richard.

Some of my favorite things I learned about were...

Angels, how they help us and how we help them

The blessings of the Patriarchal Priesthood and the Temple

How to access more personal revelation

How to better teach the scriptures to our family

A couple of my favorite quotes...

I promise you that daily family prayer and scripture study will build within the walls of your home a security and bonding that will enrich your lives and prepare your families to meet the challenges of today and the eternities to come. --L. Tom Perry

When people tell themselves to get excited they perform better than when they tell themselves to calm down.  When people feel anxious and try to calm down, they are thinking of all the things that could go badly, when they're excited they are thinking of all the things that could go well.  --Anna Davies
