See, today was the first day in a very long time that I actually enjoyed going to church. I even looked forward to it. I was excited about it.
Last week, My wife and I were released from primary.
That meant that today, for the first time in almost a year (Pretty much since we moved into this ward), I got to attend Priesthood meeting. I got to sit with adults! I got to speak of grown-up things.
Then, I actually made a new grown-up friend. After that, I met my wife and we sat down in the grown-up Sunday School class, where we discussed grown-up topics in a lesson I didn't have to prepare. with people who didn't need treats to behave.
Look, the kids in my class were cute. And frankly, they were mostly well-behaved. They were even fun most of the time.
But for once, it was nice to not be supervising someone. It felt great to just be a part of the discussion. It felt great to think about the things that were being taught.
I know that there is no greater call than to teach the children of
But at least for today, I'm thankful we were released.
So, for that, at least... I know I'm goin' ta hell...

It sounds like you enjoyed the calling while you had it. And now, you look forward to new opportunities.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Teaching Primary is a big job. I think a little relief is certainly in order.
Hey Mark!
ReplyDeleteOk, I haven't talked to you in a while, and I forget how funny you are! I just have to say, been there, done that.
This is the first year in my entire adult life that I have been to a whole year of "Grown-Up" classes at church, and it really has been so very nice.
(I guess i will have to get some tank-tops, cuz I must be goin ta hell, too.)
Ya know, I think there'll be a lot of us there... :-)
