"Which Way Do You Face?" Elder Lynn G. Robbins

Contributed by McKelle A.

Elder Lynn G. Robbins' talk "Which Way Do You Face?"

We all dressed up (sort of), and acted out the story of Daniel. Then I asked the kids when they thought Daniel was the bravest. Then I read the quote from Elder Robbins “While it certainly takes courage to face perils, the true badge of courage is overcoming the fear of men. For example, Daniel’s prayers helped him face lions, but what made him lionhearted was defying King Darius.” We talked about how true courage is standing up for what is right ALWAYS, even sometimes against our friends.

We then talked about times we might have to show this type of courage. (We talked about if a friend says "do 'such and such' or I won't be your friend" or if most kids are teasing somebody else). We didn't really get into apostasy questions like the talk discusses a bit, seeing as Zeke is 5 

Then I told the kids that Elder Robbins told us how we can get this kind of courage: Praying.

We finished by talking about how the Savior was the bravest person to ever live, and how we want to be brave like Daniel and like Jesus and always do what is right.
