How to Save Paper Towels

I usually don't watch videos on other people's blogs. So I sometimes assume that other don't too. But watch this one! It will help save the world.

I showed this to my students, and even they picked it up quickly. Well, the girls did. The boys not so much. It might be the only thing they remember in the long run (I hope not) but at least I can help save the world, one paper towel at a time.

Inviting All

Chris and I are currently attending a branch. There are about 40 members who come regularly. It seems that half are actually from nearby wards who are called to attend the branch and help out.

We have been called as Young Men's and Young Women's presidents. It is most definitely out of my comfort zone.

Chris isn't as lucky as me and doesn't get to teach every Sunday. (Sometimes there are no young men.) I do get to teach. The church updates the manuals every year with some current conference talks, personal progress goals, and Mormon Messages. (Because these are the same manuals that were used when I was in Young Women.) I love the updates.

The Mormon Messages are my favorite. I have used one almost every week I've taught.

This is a good video that works for the condition our branch is in now. It is amazing that all it has to take is inviting someone to come to church, or meet with the missionaries or read the Book of Mormon. This reminds me that we always have to trust that the Gospel of Jesus Christ can work in everybody's life. We don't need to be afraid to share.

Bring it On The Musical

Do you like musicals?
Do you like Bring it On?
Do you like to be happy?

If you answered yes to all these questions, this might be the musical for you.

I bet you haven't even heard of it. It has just got out of workshop and starting to tour the country. It doesn't even have a soundtrack CD yet, which is a shame when I really want to listen to the music. I watch this Youtube video to get me through it while I wait.




Towards the end it did start to feel too much like High School Musical. And just because it takes place in high school does not mean it should've. Lots of musicals take place in high school and don't feel like that.

Commercial

I didn't watch the Superbowl so I didn't see this commercial. But it is my favorite. I love NBC and if I could only watch 3 channels, NBC would be one of them.




It makes me extremely happy to see Community here.

What Teachers Make

Sammie posted this video on her blog awhile ago. To be honest, I don't usually watch videos posted on blogs because I usually read blogs while watching TV and you can't watch both at once.

But I digress.

This is exactly what I needed to make me feel more confident going into tomorrow. (My first day of teaching.) I'll probably watch it all week long to remind myself what I hope to be able to do.
