The Seminary Kids

This year I taught seminary. It was so much fun I had the best class! Through out the year Alicia & I were so impressed with this group of kids. Not only were they fun but they were very kind to one another. I have always wanted to work the youth of the church since I was a youth. I found great strength in my early years being able to turn my friends and leaders as an anchor to me as I traveled that hard road that we all must face at one point in our lives. My class always amazed me with the amount of knowledge they had gained at such an earlier age than I did. I would constantly be reminding them how fortunate they were to be this far in the game when it came to becoming a true disciple of Christ. Throughout the year we would play games and the following pictures are of our favorite game called "Chariot Races" (thanks again for the idea Sister B.)

The object of the game is to have your team guess the chapter and verse and then its up to two players to win the race. One player sits in the charriot and the other pulls to a table where they have to find the scripture mastery chapter and verse and then blitz back to their team to finish the race. We always had fun laughing with the kids who had fallen and the player pulling hadn't notice that he/she had been dragging them all the way to the half court mark. Love the games, love the kids!

Needless to say Alicia and I loved these kids with all our heart and hope that one day we can continue this great calling yet again. Thank you seminary kids for making our first year of marraige amazing, we love you and appreciate you.
