As a part of my church I help out in the Primary, which is the children’s organization. There is a theme each year which all of the lessons focus on. For 2014 the theme is ‘Families can be together forever’, and I was asked to make a bulletin board centered around that theme.  I have […]

In my church, I teach Sunday School to the adults in our congregation.  It’s called Gospel Doctrine class and it just might be the most intimidating responsibility I’ve ever had.  I’m no scriptorian, but I do have a love of the scriptures and the gospel that help me teach this class. One of my biggest challenges is […]
