I dressed up in Sunday clothes to teach Lesson 1 and we started out by the group of us waiting out in the parking lot for Brother Blackwell to get us into the building! We had no keys to get in so him and his son, Daniel, who is going to serve in Brussels, (kudos to him!) came and let us in.
The lesson went fairly well and Sister Gilmour even said I teach better by myself than with other people, which I wholeheartedly agree with! I picked Lesson 1 because it was rounding and estimation and I know how to do those things fairly well, so it was a no-brainer to pick it!
I had a really bad experience team teaching with two others in my first semester of Pathways and so I begged and pleaded to be allowed to teach alone for the other two semesters. In short, a member of the group didn't like me and found it proper to badmouth me to the other member of the group and also to the Pathway missionaries. This was after I had taken the initiative to do most of the work.
Anyway, tonight went very well and I am working on finding the balance between being a teacher and being friends with the students I teach. Maybe someday, I will be able to do that even better.
