It was my turn to teach tonight. I prepared a lesson on Lehi's Dream and The Tree of Life. We talked about the symbols and how they pertained to us. The girls seemed interested. At the end of the lesson I had the girls come up and put the word strips I had with the symbol that it represented. We used the process of elimination for most of them. I love these ladies! They are so pure and good!
My friend and neighbor Peggy Saunders has been saving her cute little animals that she borrowed from her sister for our wards mutual activity to share with the special needs. The girls loved it. I had them tell me something they learned tonight and if they couldn't think of anything I had a bowl with some help. Most everyone told me something and only a few used the help. First they putted through the giraffes legs, then they got to toss a hula hoop over an elephants trunk. Then I had them go to a table that had their books for their handouts. They glued their handout in the book and went to the last place where they got to throw small balls through a lions mouth. It was a great night. (better because of Peggy)
I love this calling more than I would have thought. I know that I have been preparing for it my whole life. I have taught so many different ages and classes throughout my life and have a bunch of experience which is a huge advantage for me. This is fun for me. I like presenting a lesson and then playing a game reinforcing the lesson. What a blessing this calling is. I'm pretty sure I will be serving here for a few years and I am just fine with that. These ladies love me and I know it. Heck Amber even brought me a bag of chocolate because I mentioned I was out. (next post) I love them all and it's fun getting to know them all better. I found another "Happy Place"
