Substitute Teaching in Relief Society
Yesterday (Easter Sunday) I substitute taught in Relief Society. My lesson assignment was on Elder D. Todd Christofferson's talk Why the Church. The talk is pretty straight forward, which I love. I tried to prepare for this lesson for two weeks, but struggled most of that time to figure out the correct approach to take when teaching. I had a hard time creating my outline, picking out wisdom nuggets to build on, discussion topics, etc. I prayed often for help and inspiration. Experience has taught me that the inspiration does eventually come, especially if I am prayerful and continue to study and try to figure it out. I think the lesson went well. There was a good amount of participation, we had a little fun in the lesson, and I know at least a few of us felt the spirit. And I gave out Easter candy. Candy is always good. I created a little handout to go along with my lesson. I enjoy creating little handouts. I like pretty. I like informative. I like reminders. The
