follow the leader
I am pretty tired right now, but I just have to get in a post. I went to a conference last weekend in Chicago (the Net Impact conference), and I came away with bajillions of ideas that are floating around in my head. So, I am taking a moment to at least get one down before I drop off.
One thought that keeps swimming through my head about how to make changes is working through and with leaders. If you want a family to change, work with the dad. If you want a community to change, work with the respected town patriarch. This goes back to my ideas surrounding microfinance...get in with the FAMILY! And the way to heal them is to go straight for the jugular (in this case, the father or leader). I would like feedback on this idea, if anyone happens to have any.

I couldn't agree more, Tricia! Change/turn the head, and the body will follow. This is a part of the doctrine of Priesthood and patriarchs that Heavenly Father follows. He speaks to President Hinckley or our Priesthood leader, and we follow (or at least, we should.) King Benjamin, Alma, Helaman, Moroni and others in the B. of M. spoke to the people, and most of them (all of the "good" ones?) followed.
Love, Dad
