WELCOME!

As I am re-activating myself in the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-Day Saints, I wanted to share my thoughts, feelings, stumbles, developments and understandings.
I was born into the church, baptized at age 8 and went on to Young Womens, Relief Society and YSA (Young Single Adults).
And because of a few different reasons I let myself fall away from the Gospel. I got married outside the Temple and made decisions I'm not proud of.
But now I am starting a journey back... This blog is the beginning of my new story.

Well to day was a little emotional, but not for the reasons you might think.
It's Mother's Day(well, at least it is for the next 7 minutes) and yes I sadly lost my mother when I was younger but I like to think I have come to a peace with that. The reason it was a little emotional is because today was my last Sunday teaching my little Primary Class.

I went in a little unsure on how it would go, would they care? Will they be upset? Will they be phased? Do they understand? Will they all be there?
It was a good size class, all but 3 came today and we ate fruit and jelly, had a scavenger hunt and got stickers! All the fun things you like as a kid.
A few of the kids I knew I would see again, like my niece and the surrogate niece (She is the grandchild of the people who own the house where I currently live, and my little sister is about to live, as well as being the niece of my sister and brother-in-law... so basically family!) Some of the kids I wasn't sure if I would because I'm not sure if I'll be visiting the Ward much, if at all.

Well, the goodbyes for most were fairly painless, most of them I didn't really get to say goodbye too, but got a cute bunch of hearts from them (The whole Primary) in Closing exercises, 2 of them I am seeing tomorrow/today and the last little man... As much as I shouldn't say this, I will miss him the most. I want to keep up with him but my track record at doing that has been extremely unsuccessful. He just came up to me whilst I was talking to another member, wrapped his arms around my hips and just stood there hugging me whilst I talked. He is a sweet kid. I am fairly certain he is the reason I was called to that class.

I was lucky enough to have dinner with him and his family last week and it was great to see his excitement and energy without the whole "reverence, we are in church" tag on it.
He helped me with my Angry Birds efforts too, haha.

So I guess the reason today was emotional is because I'm leaving this awesome, enthusiastic, creative spirit behind.

I pray his new teacher/s continue to encourage his vibrant personality.

  1. I love that kid. I'm sure you will stay in tough some way, after all, it is the church and we are great gossips, lol.
