EDIT:
I've thought some more about what to teach this Sunday. Looking at the details a bit closer, I realized that George A Smith has a pretty striking lineage.
John Smith served as a first counselor in the first presidency with Joseph Smith. George A Smith served as an apostle and was in the first presidency. John H Smith served as an apostle and served in the first presidency. Thus, George Albert Smith's dad, grandpa, and great grandpa all served in the first presidency of the church. That's 4 generations of family that served in the first presidency of the church!
Although this could obviously indicate nepotism, I think I will rather point both the blessings that come from faithful ancestors and the blessings that will come to our posterity if we are faithful.

EQ instruction is a great calling - that's one of Josh's callings right now! Be sure to read the introduction about GAS it's really interesting. (Cali)
Thanks for doing this. I teach this same lesson also.
Glad it helped! Cali thanks for the tip, I'm going to read his life story now.
Where are your ideas for this week's lesson?!?! I'm struggling with finding a direction to go with GAS's teaching of "our Testimony of Jesus Christ". I guess this is what I get when I leave it to the last minute. (Right now it's 12.5 hours until lesson time)
Sorry red! To be honest I dont know since I am not teaching until next week and I haven't even read the lesson for this week (I know I Should have)? Good luck!
Thank you for that excellent family tree. I'm going to give that class next Sunday here in Ellwangen, Germany and I have been looking for exactly this kind of visual aid. I hope there is no copyight on it for Church use.
Nice family photo
Yours, Frank
Frank, glad you found it useful! Let me know any great insights about the lesson :)
