There have been so many exciting changes within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. One of them being that children and youth advance to the next class the year the turn the appropriate age instead of waiting until their actual birthday. Truman was ordained to the office of teacher and gets to set up the sacrament now. He has been very diligent in his responsibilities and even volunteers to pass when they need him. He's such a good person. We are working on coming up with an idea for his Eagle Scout project so he can get that finished up as well. Hopefully this summer he will have a little extra time to finish it up!
Tacy was able to make the big jump from primary to Young Women's which was exciting for her. She has gone and done baptisms probably like 10 times already. She has been very committed and has worked hard on completing her Young Women Personal Progress requirements. She hasn't even been in 6 months and will probably finish up in the next month or so by finishing the Book of Mormon. She has been so diligent and responsible in doing a lot of it on her own. I don't tell them nearly enough but they make me proud. I really am lucky to be their mom!
These are the questions I filled out when they welcomed her into Young Women's.
This was a cute little photo shoot she did with her friend Aubrey. She sure is beautiful!
We have also been doing the new "Come Follow Me" curriculum the church started at the new year. It has been nice to be able to study and talk about the life and teachings of Jesus as a family. The kids each have a journal and after we talk about that week's lesson they write down things that they remembered or that stood out to them. I feel like they are really learning the scriptures. And of course we aren't complaining about 2 hour Sunday church time. Primary seems like a breeze and I'm loving my counselor responsibilities in the primary.
