General Conference is always a delight! We hope you are reviewing and using the talk by Elder David Bednar from the October 2011 General Conference (To Turn the Hearts of the Children, Saturday afternoon session https://lds.org/general-conference/2011/10/the-hearts-of-the-children-shall-turn?lang=eng ).
Please consider the following quote from that talk as you involve the youth in Temple and Family History work:
“But do not overly program this endeavor or provide too much detailed information or training. Invite young people to explore, to experiment, and to learn for themselves.”
Explore, experiment and learn. Perhaps we need to move away from some of our traditional teaching approaches when working with youth?
Consider how youth can help with Family History. This could include youth teaching adults, or youth helping adults who find computers difficult to use.
