Lessons
I was recently released from my calling as Nursery leader and called to teach R.S.In non-LDS speak, this means that my service position in my church changed from working with the 2-3 year olds to teaching a lesson once a month to the women's organization. I adore the toddlers, but woo-hoo!! I've missed the grown-up interaction on Sundays.
So today was my first lesson. Topic: Reverence.
I was trying to prepare, gather my thoughts, etc, but Hazel was wanting some attention. I tried to appeal to her sense of reason to leave me alone for a few minutes.
"Which lesson do you think is harder to prepare--one for the toddlers or one for the mommies?"
She thought for a second and replied, "The toddlers--they have so much more to learn!"
So true. Sometimes it takes a child to point out the obvious. Oh, and the lesson went great, btw.

Becca, You are so blessed being in the LDS faith. One of my good IRL friends is LDS and I am always interested in the positioning and placement of young men and women or in LDS speak, Sisters and Brothers? I didn't realize that some young people are sent to do mission internationally and some domestic. I had a real nice chat with two young men who visited us recently. More guys, I was really only a desperate mommy looking for some semi adult interaction. The older I get the more these young people seem like kids. lol.
Enjoy your new calling. :)

I miss RS! One of my favorite callings was RS teacher. Now I am in the nursery. The lesson prep is less intense that is for sure, but not any less important! :)
