Today was another full day of classes, including some wonderful scripture
reading and commentary together as a district (Alma 5). We also prepared
and delivered a lesson to the another couple, the Painters, our
assigned teaching partners (not in our district), so
we could learn better how to teach as a team and ask for commitments. We chose to teach Family History (our specialty!), with some doctrinal background and some explicit help for the branch they'll be serving, in Ramona near our home.The Painters then gave us their lesson, making a great analogy from the book of Ether about trials. Wonderful folks -- we are enjoying everyone here so much! Tomorrow we'll get a
chance to review briefly each other's work with them.
We
also had some training on how to use the Gospel Library tool on
our phones and tablets, and there will be more of that tomorrow. They taught us how to use Tags, which we didn't really know about and are a very nice tool for preparing and organizing lessons.
Dee's old Samsung tablet just died. Well, it actually runs, but the USB port seems to be broken so that it can't be charged, after trying several different chargers and cables. Thus, we're ordering her a newer model tonight on Amazon Prime which should arrive here Friday. It's a pain to configure a new one, but better here over the weekend than once we hit the ground running in Rome. Yes, I'm probably a little jealous that she has a new one and mine is three years old, but I'll get over it <g>
My foot seems to be all better now. I slept well without any drugs, and it isn't sore at all, not even any twinges. The entire course of steroids has now been completed. Whew! I'm very happily not expecting any more problems. We fortunately seem to be mostly caught up on our sleep now after a few crazy days.
