The BEST teacher I ever had.

My favorite subject has always been learning about the gospel. I love learning and shaping my testimony in every way. Brother Richins was my seminary teacher my last year of High School and he taught me to be confident in what I believe and always stand for it. Everyday I went into class I was excited to learn something new and rewarding. He loved hearing other people talk about their experiences and while we ranted on our struggles or joys he would sit there and listen. Just listen. He didn't make us feel like idiots when we might of said something wrong he knew we were learning and encouraged us to never stop.

"Put the person in a SCENE." -Brother Dayley

"Are you okay? Is their anything you need to talk with me about?" That was my Seminary teacher every time I might of been having a bad day. He just knew. Maybe it was because I wouldn't say anything to retort anything he said or I wouldn't give my best answers but he knew. I felt overwhelming comfort to talk to him when I thought I had no one else to talk to. Especially when I wasn't sure about what I thought about in the Gospel. He always encouraged me to be the best me I can become and to always turn to my Father in Heaven because he's always here for me. He taught me to remember my family and that they would do anything to protect me against the waves of the world.
