Scott taught his last lesson in Family History tonight. About a month ago I told him that I was starting to get really stressed and therefore, would love it if he would teach all of the Family History lessons. He has done a magnificent job of it.
Tonight's lesson was on writing personal histories. He had me talk a little about the family stories booklet I put together years ago for my siblings, and then gave copies to our children and grandchildren. I emphasized passing along family values through the stories they write about their ancestors.
Scott helped them see how important it is for them to start now writing their histories. In fact, he had them start writing the most important thing that happened to them when they were young. It is really a new concept for Fijians. I do not know anyone here who keeps a journal.
I am so proud of Scott. The Family History Class has baptized over 100 members of their families. We will have about 110 members in the Paradise Ward by the time we go home. That is an amazing number for young adults who have never done genealogy before.
Had a Thanksgiving pie party tonight with the seniors hosted by Elder and Sister Wells. I took my famous Mud Pie and because the recipe makes two pies, Sister Jackson did not have to make one. we had all kinds of pie. I was so good. I only had a very small piece of passion fruit cheese cake. We serve with the most delightful people.
