New calling: Sunday School president

Today, I was sustained as our ward’s Sunday School president. I’m excited about it.

I’ve taught quite a bit in our ward. I was Gospel Doctrine instructor twice, a substitute seminary teacher, and an elders quorum instructor. I was a Primary teacher before my mission, and of course I taught quite a bit both times I was elders quorum president, when I was ward mission leader, and when I was in the young men presidency.

I love public speaking, but the next best thing is being able to teach. :)

This won’t be a teaching calling per se (although I anticipate I’ll get chances to teach), but I’ll be able to help improve teaching in our ward. I’ve learned a few things over the years, and as someone with ADHD who struggles to keep engaged in boring classes, I think I have lots to offer.

Here are all the callings I’ve had since being home from my mission:

• Elders quorum second counsellor
• Elders quorum president
• Ward mission leader
• Stake mission secretary
• Young men president
• Ward clerk
• Elders quorum president
• Gospel Doctrine instructor
• Executive secretary
• Seminary teacher
• Stake website editor
• Gospel Doctrine instructor
• Elders quorum instructor
• Sacrament coordinator (for a seniors care facility)
• Family history team lead
• Elders quorum communications coordinator
