“We cannot wait for conversion to simply happen to our
children. Accidental conversion is not a principle of the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Becoming like our Savior will not happen randomly. Being intentional in
loving, teaching, and testifying can help children begin at a young age to feel
the influence of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is essential to our children’s
testimony of and conversion to Jesus Christ; we desire them to always remember
him, that they may have his Spirit to be with them. Consider the value of
family conversations about the gospel of Jesus Christ, essential conversations,
that can invite the Spirit. When we have such conversations with our children,
we help them create a foundation, which is a sure foundation, a foundation
whereon if they build, they cannot fall. When we strengthen a child, we
strengthen the family.” – Joy D. Jones
