One of the readings that really stuck out to me this week was Elder Bednar's address to BYU-I titled: A Disciple Preparation Center. He compared the similarities between the campus of BYU-I and the MTC. Some of the similarities includes that it is isolated from the world, it is a focused and intense time of study, there are specific requirements to attending there with a standard of worthiness, and temple learning is present. I could not help but think that this comparison could also be applied to creating this Disciple Preparation Center in our homes. I think these were such valuable steps that should be applied to help create an atmosphere of learning for me and my family.
The very next reading we had was titled, "A Message to Garcia". The powerful truths found in this text was a great bridge into how to implement these previous ideas into our homes. Some of the main take aways I learned from is that the ability to execute is more valuable than education nor talent. This means that all of this great information and impressions I got to improve my family's focus will mean nothing if I do not execute. It also stressed the fact that it is impossible to build an effective organization without delegation. This is an important piece to the puzzle because no one will learn or gain anything if they are not given the chance to participate or have a say in decisions within these principles. Instead, we must all be involved in order to gain our personal testimonies. I see this being stressed in how the church is shifting their focus toward making the youth become more involved in their salvation and growth. They do not have checklist style assignments anymore like what we were used to having personal progress look like. Instead, they have a more active role in pairing their personal passions with personal revelation. This is such an exciting shift and I can not wait to see the amazing things that will come from it. The youth also have a more active rose in planning their activities and camps. I think this is so smart and refreshing. We have a lot to learn in this journey, but am so grateful for the trust our Father in Heaven has in us.
These principles can also benefit us in our entrepreneurial journey. Being a good leader involves building, lifting, and inspiring with kindness and love as well as a lot of service. This vision, example, and charity will be so beneficial in every aspect of my life. It will influence how I approach church callings, my role as wife and mother, and within business ventures.
