Seminary

Early morning seminary that is! So I thought I should post about a HUGE part of my life these days. I get to teach early morning seminary in my home to 13 amazing teenagers! It has been the best thing EVER and I feel so lucky I get to do it. Sure I have to wake up at 4:30 (kids start arriving at 5:15 and class starts at 5:30) and that is tough but the blessings are huge and the kids are incredible and it forces me to study the scriptures everyday! Here's my classroom.... we moved our dinner table out of the dining area and into the breakfast nook. It's a perfect fit for the seminary room.Some of my kids...Aren't they great?

Working on a song they made up in a small group. They were assigned to teach us a certain scripture block..they chose to write a songAnother group working on a project.

These kids amaze me with their dedication. They show up at my door EARLY in the morning. Some of the kids have to travel 30 minutes to get to my house ...now that is dedication. They are good to each other and we have a good time. I need to get them to open up more but we're getting there. I am amazed at how my testimony has grown as I get to teach and study the scriptures . I hope theirs are growing too!
