Paul R. Warner

Teaching has given me an appreciation for the life lived by the Savior and the type of life He desires that His disciples live.  Studying and feeling the scriptures on-site makes for spiritually significant experiences in the life of all Latter‑day Saints.

He received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in Political Science and then was a high school seminary teacher from 1965 to 1968 in Ogden, Utah.
