My New Group of Young Women

I taught my first lesson to these sweet young women tonight.  I taught the first two chapters in the Book of Mormon and I was pleasantly surprised at how much these girls already know.  I would ask questions and there was always someone who could tell me the answer.  I was pretty impressed.  I think it will be fun to work with these "special needs" young women.  I feel a special love for them already.   For the lesson I had a box of Book of Mormons wrapped up in a gift.  The girls mentioned it right off.  I told them that we would open this "gift" later and we talked about how great gifts are.  At the end of the lesson I had one of the girls open it and each girl got a Book of Mormon to write her testimony in.  They were told that they should find someone to give this "gift" to.  It was a great night.

Looking at the calendar for the next little bit and I am not scheduled to teach again.  I think I mostly just get to hang out and get to know the girls better.  I know when I do teach again I will be prepared to ask more questions because these girls will answer them.  When I went to bed I kept replaying in my mind the lesson and adding questions that I should have asked.  I don't really care for the "replay" in my mind....I wish I could push a "stop" button.

I shared the story of my Patriarchal Blessing with these gals......this is Prophecy happening!  Since this calling I have reflected on my life and can see how I have been being prepared.  I have worked in the Young Women for most of the last 25 years....a bit of that time has also been in RS which has also been a help in my preparation.  OH... and it looks like I might be going to Girls Camp after all.
