I have forgotten how erratic Young Adults can be. Yesterday we did not have enough students to hold an opening exercise. There were only two in attendance at 5:30 when Suva Stake starts their classes. I tried to get President Sefeti to teach both of them, but he told me to teach my one. Really????? Last week I had nine in attendance. Well, we started and by the time we were finished there were five.
Tonight at Scott's Mission Preparation class he only had 10 students. Ten! He has not had less than 22 since the third week of the course. Now we have sent three on real two year missions, and two more have been called on mini missions for the next month here is Fiji, but that only adds up to 15. Why is it working with twenty somethings is like herding cats?
We are thankful for those who come. We feel of their spirits. We love their eagerness to learn.
Just in passing. It is hot today in Suva. The power went off, then on, then off every two to five minutes for the entire Mission Prep class. Even the YSAs were fanning themselves. Scott, bless his heart, just kept teaching.
