As a Sunday School Presidency we have been in for three years.  Bishop says he doesn't want members in callings for more than three years so a release should be coming at some point.  I have no idea when that will be.  It doesn't really matter to me when it does come, I am happy to continue to serve and have truly enjoyed this calling.  I am sure there are several things I could do better and probably should do better. It has been a great learning experience during an exciting time for the Sunday School with the establishment of Teaching in the Savior's Way.  I have really loved participating in Teacher Council Meetings and learning from great members of the ward who serve faithfully as teachers and leaders. 

It was a good day at church as we had fast and testimony meeting. I realized sitting there that this might be the last fast and testimony that I will be in with Natty for a while as she is graduating and then probably moving on to a student ward and other opportunities.  That is exciting stuff for her and will be a good opportunity for her to be involved.  I took the moment to share some fatherly wisdom with her. That fatherly wisdom consisted of sharing my thoughts about the Savior and his love for Natty and his love for each of us.  I focused on the fact that the Savior knows who we are and loves us through the highest highs and the lowest lows. He knows when we are down and is there to lift us and love us.  I am grateful for Him.  I am grateful for Natty and Jack and Andy.  What a tremendous blessing these kids are in my life.  They are wonderful and I am grateful to be their dad. 

Well, whatever comes I will do my best to press forward, to continue on with faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and to try and set an example for my children to follow.
