When I was in primary I remember a class that was given to the instructors once a month – at least it seemed it was once a month and somewhere along the line that changed to once a quarter. I loved that class. I wish it had been better attended. I guess some classes were well attended. The ones I had attended were not. I guess that’s why it dwindled. A couple of years ago the class was offered on a Saturday morning with breakfast as an insentive. One of these classes was offered the last Saturday in September.
Our
second counselor drives 45 minutes from Tiller.
He walked in a few minutes late and was wearing sports shorts and a
baseball cap. I wasn’t offended in any
way, but thought it odd. He then got up
to teach and told us to grab some doughnuts and he would return in just a
few. When he returned he was dressed as
he normally is on Sunday and introduced the lesson with “dressing for the role
to be taken seriously” . . . he then asked a few of us about our garden, job,
week, etc. and proceeded to give a
really great lesson. Reminders to come
prepared and have a backup just in case.
On
Sunday I was on my way to church and accepted an assignment to teach a primary
class. I looked over the lesson about
ten minutes before hand and adapted some of the things I had learned the
morning prior. It went well for me. I still don’t miss being in primary. I do enjoy being in Relief Society.
