Teaching

One of the highlights last week was a make-up class we did with P., who had had to miss one of our family class sessions; one that discussed how to recognize and deal with one's anger in interaction with family members.  She had expressed a desire to learn what she had missed, so she came after church, Lewis sent one of his counselors to branch council meeting in his stead, and we sat in a classroom and went over the lesson.

She is an honest-hearted learner who loves her family and the Spirit of the Lord was there as we taught and discussed.  She is not yet seeing or seeking her relationship with God, but she is seeking wise and loving relationships in her family.  And that of course is close to God.  And it continues to be sweet to see the changes in her sense of hope and hear her stories of how things are going as she applies the gospel principles and the practical applications that we have discussed and taught over the course of the class the past 8 weeks.
