Subbing

Some of our friends recently moved out of the ward and when they did, the CTR 7 class lost their teachers. Our ward is currently waiting for all of the recent BYU grads to get down here to start working at USAA (last year about 6-8 families moved down for that reason and that is pretty normal here). We're also waiting for all of them so that they can immediately be called as primary teachers. For the time being, Chris and I are the subs for that class. When they called me yesterday and asked if we could teach for the next month or so I said sure, and then texted my friend who had been their teacher to get the scoop on the class. She told me how many kids there are (around 6) and warned me who the trouble maker is.

Fast forward to today.

We got to class and introduced ourselves and asked the kids what their names were. The trouble maker said "I'm not telling you my name, but I will tell you that I'm the one that causes the most problems." So I said, "Thanks (insert his name here)!" He looked at me kinda confused, I knew his name even though he wouldn't tell me. 

I love when the trouble maker tells you flat out that they are the trouble maker. If he's going to be super obnoxious at least he knows it and had the heart to tell me :)

All I can say is that I'm glad that the Primary President knows that we already have callings and they can't call us to be the actual teachers for this class... I think we have a long month ahead of us!

Hey, if you can handle Seth Aitchison, you can handle anyone! He is giving Irene and Tomasi Tukuafu a RUN FOR THEIR MONEY as an 8-year-old! They could use some pointers, I think. And what makes you think you must have only ONE church calling? Try 3 or 4 at any given time! (Primary Piano, Choir piano, Asst Dir of FHC AND Ordinance Worker + Shift Coordinator). And people ask me waht we do in Nauvoo! Love you tons!
