So... I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but I am teaching the Marriage and Family Relations class in my singles branch with my good friend, Fez. Last Sunday was our first time teaching and we will just be teaching for the next few weeks before we head back up to school. I must admit that at first I was a little hesitant. I mean, come on. There is no one that could possibly know as very little as I do about marriage, or relationships, for that matter. (Well.... I guess there could be a few circumstances.... but you get the idea).
Today was our second time teaching, and can I just tell you? It was awesome. I don't know if anyone else enjoyed it nearly as much as I did, but.... there ya go. It was a grand time.
I have actually been doing a lot of thinking during these past two weeks. I have been able to reflect on the callings that I have been fortunate enough to receive and take part in. I am always so strengthened and enriched with new knowledge. It is really amazing. And- I just have to take a minute and brag. I am so lucky that I have had such opportunities to teach! I have taught in the Primary, the Relief Society, and now I have the calling that I do. I am sure that I get WAY more out of it all... but there ya go. It is amazing! (and I really can't even say that enough!)
Teaching is such a thrill! It is an opportunity that I have to think through my testimony and thoughts and feelings. It is such a testimony strengthener!

isn't this church great. callings are always more for the person getting the call then anything. thats how i felt when i was called as a visiting teaching supervisor up at my ward in ogden. It was totally more for me then anything. I loved it. :)
i love callings..some days more than others. I am a teacher for the sun beams super fun and they say the cutest things.
At first all i thought was not another little kid class ( I was in the nursery before) but it has been an amazing experience!!
