[Teachldsseminary] CHAT: Now - Arabian Peninsula Stake

[Gina]

Me, too!  Fascinating!  My two boys are my only regular early morning
seminary students (I should have 8 more!), and I feel sorry that no other
kids at my sons' school attend.  What a unique perspective it would be to
live where you are, and be the seminary teacher!
Thanks,

Cherilyn,
 
I was so intrigued by your e-mail!  You are in such a
unique situation!  I would love to learn more about
your Seminary students.  7 home study students in a
Muslim country!  Will you please tell me more about
your students?  Are they American?  Are their parents
also employed by the US Foreign Service or are they
originally from the Arabian Peninsula?
 
I live in North Central Illinois.  I have 4 Early
Morning Seminary students and 1 home study student who
can't make it to class very often because of distance.
  My daughter, a sophomore, is the only girl in my
class who regularly attends and is the only Young
Woman at many of her activities.  We have seen that
she is being strengthened by the experience.  Many
times I think that she has it so rough, but then I
realize how fortunate we are to be able to openly live
the gospel as we see fit.  I am sure that my students
would love to learn more about Seminary students on
the other side of the world.
 
I look forward to hearing from you!
