Mothers who Know part 5

Mothers who know are teachers
Can I say DUH again and now sound stupid?

“Think of the power of our future missionary force if mothers considered their home as a pre-missionary training center.” When I was done having babies I asked what my next mission was and I was told I was raising missionaries. That has been my objective since then. My kids are to know the doctrines of the gospel and they will know it before they get into the MTC and if they don’t it won’t be because I didn’t teach them. It will because they didn’t want to learn.
I truly hope they say their MTC experience was just a refresher course. Not sure that will happen, but I’m hoping and praying that it will be true for all six of them.
But in D&C 88 it also tells us other thing that our missionaries need to know. They need to know a lot more than just the gospel, but the gospel is first and foremost. They need to know history, spelling, grammar, laws, geography, science and how to take care of their self and property. A well rounded boy or girl makes the best missionary.

Our job is never over and we need to continually teach them.
