President Obama

So this month I got a few new students. It's been fun to get to know them. One of which I have to really watch and make sure she eats her lunch because of health reasons. Most of the time she brings back her lunchbox and I have her finish her lunch in the classroom, as I eat mine. We've had some interesting chats over lunch and today's little chat I'd have to say tops them all.

She started to tell me about how her family likes to watch President Obama on the T.V. (I'm thinking to myself .....her family likes our current president and must be on T.V. quite often for her to know who he is). But then she started talking about how sometimes he comes on T.V. on Saturdays and when that happens she doesn't have to go to church. She also mentioned how she loves to listen to President Obama, because they get to play bingo with smarties. I started to think and put it all together. It sounded a lot like general conference to me... and sure enough it was. When situations like this arise, I try to ask a few questions just to see what the little kiddos will say. It always makes me laugh. This is pretty much what I learned over lunch.

• In Primary they learn about President Obama and the other men.....(I'm guess they're also known as apostles)
• President Obama tell us to be nice and help other people
• She can't wait until General Conference comes again so she doesn't have to go to church.

I'm learning so much in my job! And don't worry....when I finished getting a laugh, I clarified that President Obama was president of our country and President Monson is president of our church.
