We are coming to the end of the year, but not (I hope) to the end of our study of the Book of Mormon! For me at least, this has been a remarkable experience, and I feel energized to find new lessons to learn and new beauty to appreciate in this wonderful book.
Our class will end Wednesday, May 18th, 2016. We will resume our studies on Wednesday, September 14th, 2016 at the LDS Cardiff Chapel, 1444 Lake Drive.
Our course of study for 2016-2017 will be titled, "Bible Stories" We will examine the iconic stories of the Bible, and search for modern applications in their teachings. It's going to be so much fun you will hardly even realize you are doing something serious!
My love and thanks to all who helped make this a special year, from those who sang (special kudos to Jeni Hawkes and Jessica Laitinen, who sang several times!) to those who played, (Saskia Crawford, Darla Green, Karen Schooley, Kathleen Peterson and others) to those who prayed, made comments and were just generally wonderful. Special thanks to our two guest teachers who gave such great lessons when I was on the road or ill, Amy Jones and Laura Berry. And the biggest thanks of all to my wonderful assistance Daryl Fahrnkopf, who was there early setting up every week, and often made treats, and generally kept us smiling through the year. Also a special thanks to my boss, our able Stake RS President Elizabeth Ingersoll, who hasn't fired me yet. I love this church job!
If you get lonely for me this summer come to BYU Education Week, August 15-19, 2016. I'll be teaching a course titled "Powerful Parables from the Book of Mormon," and I would love to see some familiar faces there!
