Teacher leave them kids alone!

Although it was kind of weird- tonight we had parent-teacher conferences.  I got to sit on the side of the desk that I never felt mature enough to be on and talk to parents about their children's progress in Seminary.  The funny thing is that I actually enjoyed it.  I didn't enjoy the 6-hour marathon of it all (honestly, why do we need to be there from 3-9??), but I really liked getting to meet my students' parents.  It really helped me to see another glimpse of why it is so important for me to teach them "in the right way" as my

 Tongan missionaries always used to pray that I would do.  Those parents love their kids so much and they actually trust me to assist them in teaching the gospel to their children.  I really do have incredible students.  They amaze me constantly by what they know and the comments that they make.  I love teaching seminary.  I didn't have many negative things to say to parents.  Almost everything that we talked about was encouraging.  You know, when everyone talks about how our country is going to pot because of the quality of our youth, I just think about my students and how I would be proud to put them in front of anyone and introduce them as the future leaders of the Church and our nation.  They're wonderful.  

On another note, my new calling is to be an FHE mom.  For FHE on Monday night, our dad had everyone get to know each other and then he gave a lesson and then we did the coolest activity- at least I thought it was cool.  We got a pet for our little family.  Her name is Peggy.  Isn't she cute???
