And so here I sit. But don't get me wrong. I have thoroughly enjoyed preparing for these lessons. I have learned about journals, heritage, missionary work - twice, and finally how to maintain an eternal perspective. And I've been thinking lots about family and geneology and temple work and missionary work and it's kinda changed how I'm thinking. Making me re-evaluate things. So I've decided. I think *and hope* I definitely have something to give to these girls, but I think I'm supposed to be teaching myself too. I hope I can actually have my class and teach them soon, but I'm ok with how things are going for now.

Calling Update
So I have been a Mia Maids teacher for a couple weeks now and after studying 5 lessons, preparing 2, and showing up every week, I have yet to teach. Very interesting to me. I have 3 girls in my class, 2 of which are inactive, and the other girl has been off enjoying the summer elsewheres. So the first week I studied 3 different lessons - we couldn't figure out which book and number I was supposed to be on - and then they told me to just teach the lesson on heritage whenever I have a class. But then this last week, I really felt like I should move on. So I prepared the lesson for the week I'm actually supposed to be on and I was feeling really good about it, I showed up for class and all 3 of my girls were there!!! *happy dance* Only then, I realized it was the 1st Sunday and that means a guest speaker. Lovely lesson. But not mine.

An excellent way to look at what's happening. Remember, the Lord doesn't always measure success the way that seems obvious to us. You could well be right and if you're learning I'd say your being sucessful!
Hey Em,
How is the teaching going? Are you enjoying it? Did the other girls come again? Working with youth is really an up and down process!! I am excited to hear how it is going.
Long time, no post! I tagged you for a meme. Ya wanna play?
