Last Lesson.

Today I teach my last Relief Society Lesson. I am being relocated!! It was a fun and challenging calling. I learned a lot preparing and participating in class! Although it was a short calling, I only taught 5 or 6 times, I really liked it. I am excited for my new calling. I am still teaching and I hope they like me. I am weird about team teaching because I am a control freak and I like structure and consistency especially with children. Okay, so I gave it away.

Today we are doing the 3rd lesson in the Gospel Principles Manual.


JESUS CHRIST, OUR SAVIOR AND LEADER!!
What a perfect topic for Valentine's Day. Last time I taught I was reminded in a kind of strong way that Charity and Love is really what "it's all about". I don't know why this came as a surprise to me. I guess I have a lot to learn still concerning Charity but charity is the pure love of Christ and I think it's perfect for today!

I am going to share with you some of the exciting points I want to talk about today in class!

First, I am going to write the Words JESUS CHRIST on the board. Then we are going to write the things that come to our mind. I tried this out with Adam like I always do in all my little experiments and the very first thing he said was LOVE. (How Perfect!) The list continued... sacrifice, friendship, teacher, Master, Savior, the Son, Creator, advocate, elder brother, example.

We then divided the list into 2 catergories: Titles and Qualities.
A couple of years ago I looked up the word MASTER in the dictionary because I love to discover the hidden meaning in words. What I found was amazing. Christ's apostles often refereed to Him as Master and for so many reasons. This is the definition of Master from two sources. I hope you think about each section carefully, it will surprise you!

Master:
* A person with the ability or power to use, control, or dispose of something. [creator]
* An expert
* Male head of the household [elder brother]
* Male teacher, tutor
* One whose teachings or doctrines are accepted and followed
* A victor or conqueror [Redeemer]
* One who defeats another
* A workman qualified to teach apprentices and to carry on his trade independently
* A man eminently skilled in something
* An assistant judge who takes testimony, makes a report [advocate](i love this one!!)
BUT MY FAVORITE IS...
* An ORIGINAL, which copies can be made!!!!

The rest of the lesson includes how Christ mission was set from the beginning. How Lucifer wanted to go and take away agency, The War in Heaven, and Christs qualities and how we can follow His example, work on becoming like Him, and accepting Him in order to return to our Heavenly Father.

It is going to be a talkative, open day about Jesus Christ and even though I don't have a lot to say like usual I just know in my heart it is going to be a Fulfilling, Happy and Energized topic.

Oh, I also made the ladies a farewell gift. I only have 32 so I hope the numbers are down today. I might have to give them away to the first people who arrive. It was really hard finding all the charms I needed without spending too much money and then i ran out of pearls. Oh well. They are bookmarks for their manuals. A little motivator to bring them!! They have a KEY on them to remind us of our Savior Jesus Christ, the Master Key, in which copies can me made!!!
