My Young Women

I made these little goodie bags along with my handouts (about service) for my Laurels class today.    I baked some chocolate chip cookies to go in these little  bags.  I waited last minute to do my lesson so I never finished them in time for church.  We made it to Sacrament meeting though, but I skipped the 2nd hour class (Gospel Doctrine) so I could finish my lesson for the 3rd hour.  I found myself a corner in the cultural hall since the kitchen was taken.  I need to stop procrastinating so I could better prepare for my class.  I know I was called in this position so I can better myself.  With this calling I am forced to open my scriptures and study them.  I am guilty for not opening my scriptures.  With this calling at least I get to open my scriptures when I prepare my lesson.  I know that is still not a whole lot but it is something.  The last time I diligently read my scriptures was when we were challenged by the prophet to read them.  Now, that's a long time.  I need to repent.  I need to study the scriptures.  Anyway, this calling is helping me speak to these young women.    I need to better connect with each one of them and really get to know them.  I'm not there yet but hope to get there.  I guess I need to put more effort into really getting to know them.  It's just that I don't know what to say.  I guess that's what I need to figure out.  Any ideas?
