Professor Blah

I just have to share with everyone how awesome my husband is. We've recently been given charge of teaching Sunday school to the 13-14 year olds. My favorite age group! I'm going to miss the little ones in nursery, especially Maria. I had to go in there yesterday to make a delivery and she immediately ran up to me and was so excited to see me. She's a doll. But that's not my place anymore. Mine is in the daunting arena of teendom. Teenagers intimidate me. They always have. At least I have Blah to help me. This week was our second week teaching them. Or should I say it was his second week.

I've never taught kids like this, much less a real lesson. So far Blah's done the teaching and I've done the sitting next to him while he teaches. This week I'm going to dive into it more. It's hard for me because I still have so much to learn about the gospel. I don't feel nearly qualified to teach. But my husband is infinitely better at it than me. He's so well-informed, especially on the New Testament which is what we're on. He's writing a book on the life of Jesus and has done tons of research and is always reading church books.

You should see how he teaches those kids. He's really good and I'm in awe of him. He has such passion in addition to the knowledge. I feel like I should be sitting with the kids listening and learning instead of being there as any sort of "teacher". And the kids love him. I hear compliments all the time from parents about how their kids just love him. He's been filling in a bit in the teens' Sunday school. He really has a knack for it. But to hear him, he's barely passable. He's so modest, except he really believes he isn't that great. I wish he would get it.
