Paul states in 1 Corinthians 13:11 that when he was a child, he spoke and thought like a child, but when he became older, he put aside childish things. I could resonate with this particular verse because, as I transitioned into my twenties, I started maturing cognitively and spiritually as well. I read books like Steps to Christand The Desire of Ages as a teenager, but mainly due to these books falling under the banner of “required” readings. Quite frankly, many years went by and I never really had any particular interest in reading the writings of Ellen G. What seemed much more fun for me as a teenager was to attend Pathfinders classes, do first aid and semaphore, and go hiking and camping. White, but I do not have any specific memories of anything profound that I learned. I was particularly intrigued by tales of the Waldensians.ĭuring my Pathfinders Club years, we touched on the teachings of Ellen G. Every Sabbath, our childlike minds would be amazed as my mother would teach us about John Wycliff, John Huss, Martin Luther, William Miller, and Ellen G. I also remember my mother teaching us about the early church reformers during one quarter.

As a young child, I thoroughly enjoyed attending Junior Sabbath School.

When I was 10 years old, we relocated to the northern suburbs and began attending Kraaifontein Seventh-day Adventist Church in Cape Town. I have fond memories of her teaching the little ones while attending Riverside Seventh-day Adventist Churchin Cape Town, South Africa. As far back as I can remember, my mother has always played an active role in serving within both the Juniors and senior Sabbath School classes.
