It is hard to believe a year ago today(July 5th), we received our mission call! What felt so right then feels even more right a whirlwind year later. I haven't even melted yet in the Texas Summer. The laid back Summer we thought was going to happen has somehow morphed into long days, short nights and full force ahead activities.
We hosted a pool party for the Institute students on the 4th. The first girl in the forefront in the pool is Lauren Seiter, our newest member of the Church. Lauren just graduated and is moving back to Deer Park, TX just south of Houston
The YSA branch usually folds into the family ward in the Summer, but when we started looking at the number of YSA still in Huntsville for the Summer, we started meeting as a Branch again 2 weeks ago.
One of the big challenges we face is the mobile nature of YSA. We get new students and then they move! I want to put a move freeze in place. It would be a lot easier to grow if we just had an addition factor and no subtraction! Multiply! Multiply! I'm like Kevin Costner and his baseball field--"If you build it they will come"
Our Summer Schedule is as follows:
Monday - Dinner
Anywhere between 8-12 students
Class- Teachings of the Living Prophets
FHE
Tuesday - 4 PM Beginning Sewing Class
Wednesday - Prep and Catch up Day
Thursday - Volunteer at the Baptistry @ Houston Temple
Friday - Teachings of the Living Prophets in Madisonville (40 min. north of Huntsville)
Saturday -- laundry, cleaning, ride bikes, renew
Sunday --always something exciting happens including Church mtgs.
Monday - start all over again. Neil and I take turns teaching TOTLP, so that has been a lot of fun. Sewing class is usually packed with drama and craziness. As Brer Rabbit would say --it's my laughing place (some day more than others). I have a few students that really keep me on my toes. I LOVE TEXAS!
