Today was the last day of seminary for the school year. We’ve spent nine months with these amazing high-school youth, and although I admit not every class was a home run, I think we did a decent job of it. I’m always impressed by these kids’ willingness to get up at five in the morning and participate in discussions about the gospel. And frankly they’re just fun.
Another great thing about our seminary work was our co-teacher, Jen. She hates early mornings– even more than I do– but somehow managed to conjure up an amazing amount of energy and spirit every day she taught.
After the youth left, we cleaned up everything and took one last photo of our classroom.
Seminary is hard. It’s hard to get up early, it’s hard to prepare lessons every day, it’s hard to engage sleepy high-schoolers. But it’s also so very rewarding.
