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. :)
