Hmmm. Why am I not able to teach the Sunbeams long term?
I will be serving with wonderful Sisters in the Presidency and I am excited to get to know all of the Sisters again. There are new Sisters that have moved into the Ward since I served in RS and I look forward to meeting them and serving them. There are Sisters that have fallen into some inactivity and some that seem to be on the outside of the 'loop'. I wonder how I can help meet their needs?
One of my little sunbeam people came over to sit with me after I was called to Relief Society. She climbed up on my lap and gave me a hug and a cuddle which made me feel really good. Her Mom told her that I wasn't going to be her teacher any more. That's been the hardest part for me. Thinking about those little sweeties and not seeing them every week makes me sad.
I told them I wouldn't stop teaching the Sunbeams until I could transition the kids to the new teacher. Overlap is a good way to reduce the anxieties of the littles. I don't think it is fair to just rip a teacher out of the classroom without explaining to them what is going on. That's what happened last year. I don't think that was a good thing for those kids although they are very resilient.
I will teach Sunbeams again next week, hopefully with the new teacher, and I am in New York the next week and then it will be General Conference. Hmmm. I won't actually be in RS until mid April! I wonder if the Sisters will wonder about the decision to have me there if I'm not actually there!
One Sister said to me today that since she moved here I had worked in every auxiliary and now I was back to where I started when she moved here! Hmmm. A circle of service?
Another new adventure! Here we go.
