LDS Employment Resource Center

We volunteer here at the church ERC two days a week, but all day long.  And since the people are not pounding the door down to get in to look for jobs, we have lots of time on our hands to do Seminary and Institute work, and checking on our emails and blogs.  We also do reports for our Seminary teachers and prepare reports for the bishops too.  It's great.  Someone has to do the office work.  We got to our first chapel this morning, and then Elder M left me there, while he drove over to the Stake Center building.  6:00AM and one teacher was missing, 6:05AM still no teacher, so I jumped in and started the class of 6 students waiting there, and had them lead us in singing Love One Another.  Then I asked a young man to offer our prayer for the day.  And then I had another young man take the roll for two days.  You see, we left that building last Friday, thinking all the teachers were there, and this same one was missing.  So a visiting Bishop from another ward asked a connecting teacher to unfold the divider between the two classes, and teach the class without a teacher along with his.  This is just some of the kind of things that go on, and we as coordinators for the Stake on Seminaries, "fill in" when assigned people don't show up.  I was ready to teach the class, based on our continued study of the Book of Mormon.  I just needed to know where they were in the scriptures.  There is an assigned list of what chapters to teach on a specific date.  Not all teachers are on schedule that way, so I have to find out where they are, when I jump in like that to teach.  Thank goodness for a lifetime of studying the scriptures.  No panic.  Just call on the Holy Ghost to help you, and you're off and running.     Jay found that the gates to the front of the Stake Center was not unlocked this morning and students were jumping over the fence to get in.  Oh my!
