I was such a proud mother yesterday in Primary. Sister Weekes was showing the children pictures from the scriptures and then asking them questions about the particular scripture story. She held up the picture of when Christ was among the Nephite children and how the angels came down and fire encircled them about as the angels taught and ministered to them. She asked the kids what this story tells us about Jesus. My sweet little Katelund raised her hand. Sister Weekes called on her and Katelund said, "that Jesus loves children". I was so proud of her!!! I had to keep the tears back. Of all things that I have taught Katelund, that would be the one thing that I would want her to know above all else; that Jesus loves her. I think that if you know that and you know who you are then everything else just kindof falls into place. I am so grateful for the primary program.
I am also so grateful for the Primary president that I work with. I had such a hard time with her at first, but all of those feelings have been replaced with love and great respect for her. Is she perfect, of course not, but she is trying to be. Yesterday we had a teacher development meeting to review the things that we learned at the worldwide broadcast and discuss how we can apply the principles we learned to our primary. When she started the meeting, she went around the room and singled out each teacher individually and stated the things that she loved about them as a teacher and told specific examples of the wonderful things that she has observed them doing in their teaching. She ended with me and she got all choked up as she expressed her thanks to me and said some very sweet things. I love my calling so much!!! I just don't think that I will ever have a calling that I love more than this one. Okay, maybe my other calling as ward camp director. :)
