Well, I taught my very first Sunday School class yesterday. We had five people come ... that's better than none. I don't think I gave a very good lesson. I was sweating bullets -- don't know if it was because I was so nervous or if the AC wasn't working ... I think a bit of both. The participation was minimal. I need to get these kids to talk. I'll have to ask more questions, I guess ...
The young adults are pretty cool. One of them, Ricky, just graduated from high school. He's working as a telemarketer right now. He wants to go to culinary school because he likes "good eats" and maybe even more schooling to study mathematics. Big and tough looking, but really a nice guy.
Marlene is the Bishop's daughter. She is very pretty. Quiet and a beautiful smile. Very supportive of her dad and has a great love for her family.
Willy, the Bishop's son, will leave for the MTC in a couple of weeks. Already took his endowments out and looking forward to Seattle. I asked if he's got a good raincoat yet ... just said, "yup". He was the last one in the class and first one out of my class room.
Anya was there with her only nephew, Tevita (cute 1-year-old boy). She is so sweet and always have a smile on her face. I was grateful for the comments she offered on the lesson.
Dinah is new to the ward and is the oldest in the class. She is Filipino, served her mission on Temple Square about four years ago, working at some Australian health supplement place at some really weird hours (4:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.) and is living with an elderly woman in the ward, Sister Smith.
I hope as we get to know each other better, the young adults in the class will feel more at ease and will participate more. I'll have to better prepare next week's lesson and be sure to incorporate more opportunities for them to participate in.
