Week #17


I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas break!  

I have enjoyed our time together in 2014.  

I look forward to our time together in 2015!

Make every minute of this break count.  

I challenge you to commit yourselves to service over the break.  

Can't wait to hear the results of how it blesses you!  

I'm absolutely POSITIVE that it will.   

Thanks for hanging in there to the end of this week.  

I know it took a lot of patience.

We made it!  

Love you all!

Week #16



Hey there EXCEPTIONAL people!  

I'm not going to post much this week.  I'm too busy being exceptional!  :) 
(Really I'm just in the middle of my finals and getting ready for Christmas).
I really am trying to be exceptional- in my own way. 

I believe that every single one of us has the capacity to be exceptional.  

This week was a testimony to me that if you're looking for answers to particular 
questions or inquiries in the scriptures- they are there, all we have to do is look for them.
I found some great answers to my personal questions.  I hope you did too. 

As we get ready to start our winter break I want you to focus your thoughts on
teaching methods.  
Pay attention to ALL of your teachers.  
See what reaches you and motivates you.  
Pay attention to questions that get you thinking.  
Watch how teachers guide discussions.
What works, what doesn't?

I have to tell you- that whether you want to be a teacher or not, 
we are all meant to become teachers.   
To become great teachers you have to pay attention to teaching.

We are going to start some trial runs with teaching this week.  
Let me know if you want to be part of it this week!
I love volunteers! 

Love you guys!  See you all on Monday!

Week #15


Isn't December AWESOME!?!?!?

This week we studied sections 50-56.

I think my favorite day this week was the day that Adam, 
an amazing young man preparing to put in his mission papers, visited us.  
Wasn't his testimony awesome?  

Today we took a shot at a scripture mastery game.  
I'm not sure it helped...or was any fun...or if I'll ever want to try it again.  
But we tried it!  
I suppose anything that helps us review the scriptures we've memorized can't hurt.  
I'm SO BAD at doing the game thing.  
Maybe next time, (if we decide to have a next time), someone else could run it.  :)
I like that idea!

Below is one of the videos we watched this week.    

Have a wonderful weekend!
