Seminary

So, I haven't posted in awhile because life has suddenly gotten much busier. About six weeks ago I was called to be a seminary teacher! For those who don't know, it's a scripture study class for high school students in the morning before school starts. I know some of you are laughing because, well, I was not the most on-time student when I was in seminary myself, and I'm not at all a morning person. It hasn't been easy, but so far so good! I've managed to make it there early every day, and I'm really enjoying teaching. I have a team teacher so I don't have to teach every day, which helps takes some of the stress off, and there is always someone there to help me. We teach the juniors, and we usually have 19 or 20 come. The students are really awesome. They're not always very awake, but we've had some fun and I hope they're learning. We're studying the Old Testament this year. I love it because it has so many good stories and some unusual ones that really make you think. I learn so much every time I prepare a lesson, and the hardest part is trying not to simply dump everything that I learned on my students. I'm really glad that I have this great chance to teach and do some good even though I'm not teaching school this year. It really is exactly what I needed right now.
