This was a fun lesson to research. I am really enjoying the Joseph Smith Papers videos and finding they are very helpful in setting the stage for my class. Since they are older and I have more time per lesson,…
Legitimate leaves! Day 15
It’s been a few days since I’ve looked at my tomato seedlings, and I’m excited to see that so many of them are looking so good! Several of the seedlings that I thought weren’t going to come up have come…
Tomato seedlings – Day 6
Hooray! Most of my tomatoes have sprouted! The Italian Roma has not sprouted any, but all the others have at least one sprout. Once Stupice and one Mortgage Lifter haven’t sprouted yet. But other than that I’m really happy with…
Tomatoes planted
After last year’s disaster, I decided to try again growing my own tomatoes from seed. This year I’ve planted six varieties: Stupice (blue label) Mortgage Lifter (purple label) Bush Steak Hybrid (yellow label) Cherokee Purple (purple label) Italian Grape –…
D&C 113-120
So this was the easiest lesson I’ve prepared all year. I used to have easy ones like this all the time when I was teaching Seminary, but this is the first time that it’s come so easily for one of…

I am ashamed to admit this, but when Elder Christofferson was called to be an apostle, I was unimpressed. “Why did they call that guy?” (1) I wondered. He seemed less polished and charismatic than what I was expecting given…
D&C 88-108, 137
Whoa. It’s been a while. :) We ended up having class canceled a couple of times due to poor weather this month (unplanned), we missed one day because school was out (planned), and I’m pretty sure that I’ve only taught…
D&C 77-87
We had a school holiday and so it has been two weeks since our last lesson. This was a super interesting experience. Another random person showed up for class. As class started going on, it came out that she had…
D&C 76 – Weeks 1 and 2
I was really nervous about teaching D&C 76. There is so much information, and since I only teach weekly, I was pretty confident we would not get to all the material without rushing. Additionally, because I teach adults it’s extremely…
The activity that kills you but won’t die
Well, it came up again on our Seminary Teacher’s Facebook group–The Activity That Won’t Die: the Flight 227 airplane crash activity. I was astonished to see it appear on the page, actually. I thought I had squelched it years ago…
