Fun for Brock
Brock got a new calling at church...SEMINARY TEACHER! It's the last thing he ever would have wished for. He likes working with the youth and he's good at it, but he's so worried about losing sleep. The kids are so excited about it though, and so are their parents. I'm glad everyone is so excited because I think it's probably helping him accept it, even though he probably wouldn't admit that at this point.
I think most of the people that read my blog know what a seminary teacher is, but for the few who may not, I should explain. The high school students in our church meet every morning before school to study the scriptures. Brock and I both did this all 4 years that we were in high school. Each year they study a different book of scripture. This year it's the Book of Mormon. They meet at 6:00 am at church on every school day, and Brock will have the pleasure of being there to teach them! This is an unpaid position (except for in Utah where seminary teachers get paid because they teach classes throughout the school day). They said they'd like him to have this job for 4 years. I'm anxious to see how this affects our lives.

My mom had this calling a few times. You might even remember....was she our teacher at one point? Anyway, she said it was one of her most favorite callings.
Wow Britney! How exciting...I think. Not to worry though, my husband just got called to be the Gosple Doctrine teacher! But our ward has a lot of spiritual giants who LOVE to participate. I think that's the reason Adam got called, because he always answers every single question and has to always put in his two cents. Who knows? All I know is that I am extremely nervous for him. I get butterflies just thinking about it. Tell Brock good luck.
That is a huge calling to take on, not only for Brock but for you to be so supportive of him as well! It's hard enough for me having Doug gone Sunday mornings...you're amazing to be willing to let Brock leave so early on weekday mornings. What can I say, you're both amazing and I know Brock will be a fabulous teacher.
Brock will be such a good teacher. Good luck!
