After Tuesday's lesson, I was ready for a break. I tried to find a substitute for my class, but by the time it was 4:00 in the afternoon I knew it just wasn't going to happen. My lesson topic was "Saul, David, and Solomon: What Went Wrong" based on a CES document by the same […]
I felt terrible after this lesson today. I can honestly say that this is the first time I was glad to see the kids go. It really wasn't a bad lesson, but I just could not get the kids to STOP TALKING. It was so rude and distracting. I actually had to have the worst […]
Today I taught the beginnings of 2 Samuel. We started out class by having some of the kids who either didn't have time or who didn't follow the instructions complete their work on the scroll. Some of them forgot their names. Some didn't write power phrases. One was absent, and I had two visitors, so […]
This week is a weird one. The kids are off Wednesday and Thursday for exams. The other teacher is having a surgical procedure this week, too, and so his class isn't meeting Friday, which means mine isn't either. Next Monday is a school holiday (which I forgot). And yesterday, the federal government called a 2-hour […]

Well, it's the second day back at school after Christmas break, and the kids are already starting to droop. It was 12 degrees outside when they came in this morning. Brrrrrr. This was the first day that no one complained about sitting close beside each other on the couches 🙂 I didn't write out my […]
It's a new year! I've set a goal to add new content to the site each day of 2012. Most of the time I'll be blogging since I am blogging about my Seminary class, but on off days I will try to add some new content related to Young Women or Primary. I've been working […]
Do you know what you want to do tomorrow? What about next week? Or next year? The gift of making choices about what we will do is called agency. Heavenly Father lets us make choices. Our choices can help us or hurt us. When we use our agency to be obedient, Heavenly Father will bless […]
I think today we learned some stuff that got us thinking. I hope some of it stuck, especially for our young Aaronic priesthood holders. On the board I wrote "Why is it important that priesthood ordinances be performed by those who are clean inside and outside?" and "What happens if a priesthood ordinance is done […]
