Today, Chris was set apart as the new Deacon's Quorum President. Last week, Marly was set apart as the new Mia Maid's First Counselor. Sam has been the First Counselor in her Laurel Class for several months. I am very aware that Heavenly Father has prepared them for these new leadership opportunities. I have seen great improvements in my children in their abilities, their maturity, and their desire to serve. Some I believe is because of educating my children using the Thomas Jefferson Education method, but I know all can be attributed to Heavenly Father and His knowledge of their missions in this life.
The ward we live in has a very large youth, 40 young women and 20 young men. When our youth went to the Snowflake Temple to do Baptisms for the Dead the Temple workers thought it was a youth stake activity, not just one ward. I am very thankful for the service provided to my children by their leaders and for our Bishop.
Even if we move this year, I feel confident that what my children learn during this season of service to their individual classes will prepare them for their future. I know my various callings have taught me so much. I'm excited to see what this new adventure brings.
That is Great! R and I were just put in the junior nursery together. I know there is a bunch of people either snickering or sympathizing while reading that, but we are elated to be teaching them (particularly because R jun. is in the class).
ReplyDeleteI love Nursery! "Big Boy" is still in nursery, but "Jabber Jaw" moved up to Sunbeams. Since living with us, this has been their only experience with church...so there are a lot of teaching moments each week. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you. I teach CTR 6 right now. I love my class.
I'm a new reader, hello! :) Saw your link on TJEdMUSE. Anyway, a homeschool group my son is in goes to the temple once a month during the day. The temple workers LOVE it and tell them to come back as often as they can. So with 3 all in that age group, if the temple is close you should look into that. Such a wonderful opportunity for the kids.
