Who would have thought?

When I was released in the spring of 1996 from the calling of early morning seminary teacher, I thought I'd never see that calling again.

Technically, I still haven't.

Only "assistant early morning seminary teacher."

And it was only supposed to be for one week while the teacher was helping with a new grandbaby.

Except the baby hasn't come yet, and I'm in my 3rd week of teaching.

I'm glad we rearranged the TV room--it seats 8 students quite nicely

and I REALLY appreciate not having to go to the church.

Other than missing an hour and a half of sleep each day

I've been enjoying it.

These students are awake and other than liking to talk a lot

(they are all great friends),

we have a great time together at 6 a.m.

Maybe I'll get in the habit of arising early, again.
