What a privilege it was to teach my primary class this past Sunday. It's so funny that on the day our bishop (ward/congregation leader) comments that the summer vacations must be in full swing (meaning a lot of people were out of town), I end up with the largest class in several weeks--9, and one came for the very first time this year. I'm not sure how I will fit 11 chairs in our classroom comfortably, but I look forward to the day when all my class members are there. Anyway, I was just so touched and impressed by each class member, from our "newbie" who, though he struggled with the structure, was so enthusiastic about saying prayers, to the two boys who have learned enough discipline that they can now sit together, to the girl who comes so few times (and far between) that she thought we had changed classes for a time, to another member who asked that we pray for this girl's mom who is healing from a leg injury and who also thanked Heavenly Father for me being their teacher and how I teach them. I could go on and on. I just love this class! They have blessed me to remember the worth of each soul and to remember my worth as well.
I am grateful to be taught by children, those who seem to be "old" souls when it comes to undertstanding the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
