So There Is A Silver Lining

So... I taught Gospel Doctrine yesterday at church for the first time. Luckily, I was able to use my ADD and selective memory to my advantage: I could still prepare for the lesson while conveniently "not remembering" that I had to teach (so that I wouldn't psych myself out).

Once class started, I was, I admit, nervous (but only slightly). Fortunately I had a small class full of people I actually knew and were friends with, which put me more at ease. Overall, it was a great learning experience. I learned that I am able to teach Gospel Doctrine without making a fool of myself, that the Lord knows more of what I am capable of than even I am, and that teaching others is a great way to learn (I learned more as a Sunday School teacher than I usually learn as a Sunday School student).
