Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam...

TEACHER!!!

How I felt about it (in sequential order):
First: Stunned.
Second: Terrified.
Third: Afraid. Very afraid.
Forth: Slightly excited.
Fifth: Thrilled.
Confused right now? Click here - or I could just tell you. We teach seven of the most darling 3-year-old kids (we affectionately call "Sunbeams") at church every Sunday.

We spent the first day on the job making paper plate suns, eating "sundrops" (orange tictacs), and having spiritual discussions that were occasionally interrupted with comments about Toothless the dragon, tractors, Bumblebee the Transformer, and "super brave" dads that kill spiders.

It was possibly my favorite day of church in my entire life.

I think I'm gonna like it here.

Freaking Awesome!!!! Were you sad to be released from the presidency? We miss you guys! Hope everything is going well for you guys!!! Being sunbeam teachers rates among the BEST calling Kellen and I have ever had....our first calling after we got married, and we loved it! :D Good luck! I hope you keep track of some of their comments :D

I'm the sunbeam teacher too! But our class is really a handful! It's fun but exhausting. It sounds like you have a cute bunch of kids there.

Ben has been talking about primary all week, he can't wait for Sunday! Next week will be great for Fun Friday... I got your message.

You are going to love that calling and never want to be released from it. I would rather teach in Primary than be in some stressful, stuffy leadership position(and that's the truth)!
