So I got a new calling today. I was shocked when I heard it......................I am building the suspense. I was called as the new teacher for the 6 year olds. The CTR 6 class. hahaha that is interesting. I have never been called as a teacher for little kids in fact I have never had to teach little kids anything at all except for my own children and sometimes I really suck at that. So we shall see how this works. Little kids have very short attention spans. I am going to have to learn to tell some really cool stories if I am going to be able to keep their attention for very long. I have never felt more overwhelmed with any calling then I feel now. interesting.
You know what keeps us going in the midst of everything I have discovered it is Love wether it is love of ourselves love of God love of our families but love I think is the root motivator for just about every action we take. I sure as heck would not be doing this job if I did not think that it would somehow benifit my family. A person can put up with a lot of crap for those that they love.
Even hope has a basis in love and love has a basis in hope. Of all the emotions of human capabilities I think love and hope are the two most basic good emotions.

I think it will be good for you. Once a week you get to be in a room full of little ones, maybe they'll overwhelm you like ours get to me sometimes :) j/k
It sounds like a fun calling though!
for everybody it's different, I guess...
I would rather be teaching the children than to try to teach the adults. adults have short attention spans also. But with kids you just need toys and pictures and such and they take to it. or maybe just promise them candy :) with adults you have to know what you're talking about but not sound too stuffy...
anyway, hope you learn lots from this experience
haha candy and the parents will hate me but I guess that is ok as long as they are good for my classes.
I am looking forward to the experience. It should be fun. On the other hand no more sunday school but then I was having a hard time paying attention in that class not very interesting.
Haha, you just proved Dave's point with what you wrote!
You could bring little toys, bouncy balls, whatever. Or crackers so no sugar highs!
