What a blessing!

So everyone.... Don and I finally have a calling at church. We are Youth Sunday School Teachers for the 14-15 year olds. We taught our first lesson on Sunday and it was a blast. They are great kids and like anything it has it's own challenges. I like the fact that they are old enough to really interact and ask questions and participate with the lesson. I love seeing how young minds interperate the gospel. You can never have enough reminders on the gospel in all the different directions. I am hoping to know all their names by next week so that I can call on them and get them into the lesson.

I would like to ask a question out to all you. What are some good ways to keep their attention, and to actually get them to participate? I am trying to come up with ways so that Don and I are not the only ones talking. And yes kids will be kids, but have I forgotten how much energy young kids have? Anyway I hope all is well with everyone and talk at you later.

Happy October Almost. :)

A New Beginning

So this has been a long time waiting for pictures of Little Missy's big bed. We moved her to the bed in August and she is loving it. We do have a side rail so that she won't fall out. Better safe than sorry. I am so proud of how well she has adjusted to the new bed. She is a easy going girl.
This is a tent that she got for Christmas last year and we set it up in her room so she would have a hut. When we moved we put her chair in it, but she no longer wants to sit in the chair... it is always pulled out and climbing all over it. I remember the day that I went into her room and she was sleeping in her tent. So Cute!
Just another picture of her in her tent. She loves the camera....
