Lesson 6: A Woman’s Responsibility to Teach

Sister Heinze did a wonderful job on this week's lesson of "Each young woman will understand and fulfill her responsibility to teach"

When we teach in the right way, we give others knowledge or abilities that they can use to improve their lives and the lives of others. Throughout your lifetimes, you will have opportunities to teach. You will teach in your present families; in school; among neighbors, friends, and peers; in your community; and in Church callings. You will also teach in their future family situations.

DC 88:118 "And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith"

Elder Boyd K. Packer said: "Much of what we do is teaching. Showing a youngster how to tie his shoe, helping a daughter with a new recipe, giving a talk in church, bearing testimony, conducting a leadership meeting, and, of course, teaching a class, all of this is teaching, and we are doing it constantly"

David O. McKay: "The home is the first and most effective place for children to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control; the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home"
