I am grateful for S - Seminary


I am grateful for Seminary

don't mind that my basement isn't finished - the focus here is the row of pictures along the ceiling
these are my kids - my seminary kids that i've taught over the years I take them with me where ever I go.

Just to name a few things I remember...

  • The scripture mastery games.
  • the Time carl took Dustins Hat - does he not know 'you don't touch another man's hat?'
  • the videos.
  • the time the light turned on in Ben's eyes and I knew 'He gets it!'
  • the girl who was to shy to come into class and sat in the hall to just listen
  • the boy who curled up in a ball and slept
  • Sam and Justine who held hands under the table
  • the friendships, the bonding, the reenactment of the scripture stories
  • The fights - really jason and mike or was it Danny???
  • the cuss words behind the sliding chalk boards making the teacher speechless
  • the home gatherings
  • the breakfasts
  • the putting scriptures to music
  • the zones
  • the presidents
  • the analogy of brushing your teeth everyday vs read, study and ponder your scriptures everyday.
  • the love
  • the fact that I was blessed and had the privilege of teaching my own
  • the one time Rob came to class and was "Student of the Month"!  (really he came more than that but he only remembers that one day!!
  • Heather who had to leave early to go make "Coffee" for one of the teachers at school every morning
  • Annie who lead our seminary choir
  • Carson who had to have eggnog
  • Micah who taught me to always do the dishes before the seminary class came over to eat!!
  • Troy the Football hero and even with a broken arm and the all the girls wanted him!
  • Carissa and her nerf ball
  • we are all of us each year a family forever
  • As a seminary student I remember the teacher who got me through my sophomore year
  • I remember the teacher of my freshman year that Debbie and I tormented!  I am so sorry Brother Randall.
  • Those peers of mine that stood in front of the seminary building smoking.
  • The testimony we've all built, thru studying the scriptures together everyday.




Read your scriptures everyday

Remember who you are!  I love you guys, all of you!
