Closing Social with the Special Needs

I have enjoyed my calling with the Special Needs Mutual.  It's been fun getting to know everyone.  There is always a good "feeling" when I am around these awesome people.  They truly are God's chosen.

Last week we had a combined Testimony Meeting and I am amazed what these kids know.  They know that they are just being tested and that they will be whole in the next life.  They have wonderful spirits and testimonies and I am blessed to know them.

This week we had our closing social.  We just had a cook out and visited mostly.  A few of the kids played a lawn game.  It was fun visiting with some of the kids.  You learn a lot by just listening.  Brian (the one in the gray shirt with a fish on it) told me that he had died and then came back to life.  He had been in a fork lift accident after high school....he remembered the things that he use to be able to do. (made me sad for him)

We don't meet in the summer except for girls camp and the boys for scout camp.  I guess because the summers are so busy for families.  We plan on meeting in August to schedule the upcoming year.  I look forward to teaching again.  I know the girls now and I know how to include them better.  It's going to be fun.  I love this calling and all the leaders and "kids" that I get to serve with.  Heavenly Father definitely knows us better than we know ourselves.....I wouldn't have thought I'd love this calling like I have.
