Sundays are wonderful! Today we went to two sacrament meetings - our ward and then the single's ward because Bradley was the speaker. It is remarkable how much he has developed spiritually in just a relatively short period of time. When I see him I am reminded that patience is a virtue when it comes to parenting. The Lord knows the timetable. We just have to make sure we're not behind or trying to push ahead of His timetable.
Another blessing of Sundays is that it's nice to have a day when all the regular projects can be left behind and time is spent in maybe more meaningful? activities. Teaching primary is fun - playing the piano in primary is really fun! (I like it when the pianist is absent!) Though our choir is small... really, really small...I always come away with an increase of testimony because of the hymns that we practice. I appreciate the support from the few consistent members, which includes John - usually the only bass.
The second Sunday of the month is our multi-generational Family Home Evening, so tonight we played peek-a-boo with Natalie; Barry and Bradley gave John a blessing (he hasn't been able to get his blood sugars back to normal since he was in the hospital); and then Barry and Melanie, Bradley, John and I just talked and visited. It was very low key, but I think we all felt spiritually blessed. (The rest of our multi-generation is in Mississippi this week.) I' m looking forward to this next week, hoping to spend as much time as I can with Bradley and helping him get ready to leave the following week.
Tell Bradley we're proud of him and look forward to you sharing whatever you can from his weekly emails or letters home.

Ernie got to sub in Primary yesterday (in Nigel and Lilly's class actually) and he loved it. Primary is such a wonderful place on Sundays!
