If you have enough will power you can defy the laws of physics

Yesterday I got to experiance my first Fast and Testimony meeting in my new family ward. I have to say it was quite different from the Fast and Testimony meetings I have been used to for the last several years. In singles wards you don't get a lot of children or teen agers. And this new demographic certainly made things interesting! We had the standard children that are all gung ho to share thier testimonies and then when they actually get to the pulpit they are struck dumb or begin to cry, which is pretty entertaining. My favorite by far though, was the teenage boy who got up and talked about the car accident that he and his friend had gotten in over the weekend. No one was injured and apperently most of the ward already new about it, because it involved 2 priests, so there was already some laughter when he got to the pulpit. I guess the accident involved them running a light, because it was late and they figured if they drove fast enough they wouldn't get hurt. A lot of his testimony was hard to follow but he did drop this little gem that had me laughing out loud from my seat in the back of the chapel. He said and I quote "I had always believed that if you had enough will power you could overcome the laws of physics". For some reason that cracked me up, the thought that it was only our lack of will power that lets gravity keep us earth bound! It was pretty entertaining.

I found out on yesterday that I'll be the Primary teacher for the Valient 10-12 girls. I'm really excited about working with these girls. I taught them this week and they are hilarious and really smart. It's such a fun age, they can't wait to be in young womens and are all so excited about everything. I think they will keep me hopping though as far as preparing lessons that keep them interested and involved. I'm really really happy about it though!! We have our primary program next month and our class has to come up with our own presentation so that will be interesting! I'm just thouroughly enjoying primary right now.

Anyway there is the update on my new family ward
