Even a Child Can Understand

My thoughts on Elder Causse's talk "Even a Child Can Understand"

The difference between my religion and most everyone else's is that I do search for more knowledge through studying and praying about the doctrine I'm taught.

Why do we as LDS search for knowledge?

Is it because we believe that one day we will be gods?
Is it because we have been commanded?
Is it because we have a curiosity?

I don't know the answer and I think each of us studies for different reasons.

The church puts great emphasis on knowledge, and yet the gospel is so simple even a child can understand. In fact I believe that sometime they know more because they don't let all those "things" interfere with their faith.

"Little children have a marvelous disposition to learn. They have total trust in their teacher, a pure spirit, and great humility--in other words, the same qualities which open the door to the Holy Spirit."

Did not the Lord command us to be like little children?
Is this why?
