Teens text. Simple fact. "U late?", "Where U @?", "LOL", "Let's do lunch"...and the occasional "my seminary teach rocks!" messages are among the most popular. The topic even came up in Dallin H. Oaks's conference talk last month in regards to reference in the church. So what do we do about it? We text with 'em!
I gathered up all the mobile phone numbers of kids in my class and started sending them scripture mastery hints during the day to see if they can reply with the correct scripture reference. It's a lot of fun! It's amazing how fast some of them reply. I never do it during church meetings, but I'm sure I've got them during school a time or two. I should start keeping track of who replies the fastest and who replies most accurately on a consistent basis...make a game out of it!
I shared some of the text conversations in class today and they all got a kick out it.
