Educate a MOTHER/WOMAN...You Educate a Whole Family

Quote By: President Spencer W. Kimball

"As I visit the missions in the world, I hear the young men bear their testimonies.  They say, 'My mother told me this. . . . my mother is prime, she's first.'  She really is first, and if all women could understand this, they would want to have families instead of following the present fad . . . It has been said that 'When you educate a man, you educate an individual, but when you educate a woman, you educate a whole family' (Dr. Charles D. McIver).  We want our women to be well educated, for children may not recover from the ignorance of their mothers" (Charge to Religious Educators, 1983, p. 43-47).    Alma 57:21  "Yea, and they did obey and observe to perform every word of command with exactness; yea, and even according to their faith it was done unto them; and I did remember the words which they said unto me that their mothers had taught them."
