Seminary

Jim and Echo finished seminary this morning. They enjoyed the year and they did a great job at waking each other up and getting the computer turned on on time. I am really greateful for a great teacher who was also always there with a great lesson and enjoyed teaching them. I think the webcam classes were a great idea. Thanks to Sister Smith, Maggie, Jim and Echo. Good job to finish!

New Calling

Several of my friends had asked what I was going to do with myself when I was done with internship and then school. I told them I didn't know but I was sure something would come up.

So yesterday, I was released from my calling of R.S. Counselor. and given the new calling of R.S.President. I am able to have two counselors, until one of them moves which she is planning on doing at the end of the summer.

Yep, something came up.

Graduation!!!

Today I filled out my

REQUEST TO GRADUATE

YAAY!!!!

I was told that MTI no longer sells announcements because no one bought them. SO I will be designing some on my computer and mailing them myself.

Graduation is May 7th. I am not sure what time yet.

UVU

So Mike and Drew are both UVU graduates. UVU is now in the same conference as South Dakota State. So when UVU was here for Basketball this thursday we got together to go! A bonus: groups of 15 or more get half price. with my family of 9 and mikes family of 6 we have 15.

Sunday Lesson

So saturday before work, I printed out the conference talk I was supposed to teach in Relief Society and took it to work to read thru before I had to teach it. Saturday after work, I looked up the scriptures it referenced and wrote them in where they fit.

Sunday after sacrament meeting, My RS Pres. told me that apparently the brother who was supposed to teach the men had prepared the wrong lesson and we were all meeting together. I was surprised by this, but hey if it meant not having to teach then OK. So I sat down in the back of the Chapel, (not quite the corner) and waited, after the introduction,and opening song etc. the counselor asked the branck pres who was teaching and he said, well Bro. Tanner was supposed to teach, but he is on call and came long enough to tell us that he won't be here today, so I guess the RS is teaching, as he turned and looked at the RS Pres. She quickly responded that Sis Wilkinson is teaching today, EVERY eye turned to me . (I was so glad that I had pre read the lesson and even looked up the scriptures).

The lesson went well, Not very many comments, so I finished 15 minutes early. I am not very good at adlibbing , especially in front of both groups, I am getting better when it is the just the RS. But it is still a skill I am not very good at.
When I said that was all, then there were a few more comments, but we were still the first class out.

Bronze Medal School

Just found out our kids school got a bronze medal from US news and world report for being a good School.

We already knew this but its nice to see it recognized as such. They have done a great job at meeting the needs of all of my kids and making them all stretch.
