1st year of seminary

Nathan and Jared had a great school year, each getting straight A's and working hard in their classes. Nathan also completed his first year of seminary (early morning scripture study class at church), which is a big accomplishment.  He had seminary at 6:30am each school day.  He had to do some home study when 6:00am basketball practices were scheduled (and basketball is a class, so he couldn't skip out on the practices).  He made up all of his seminary lessons with home study.  The other thing that was amazing was that we never had to wake Nathan up in the morning or drag him out the door.  He wanted to participate, and he set his alarm to get himself up and ready.  For some of the year, he decided to wake up at 5:00am and do some exercises before he got ready to go.  This was all on his own motivation.  We're proud of him for being self-motivated and for choosing to participate in seminary.  We are also grateful for great seminary teachers, who were given a calling to teach and chose to accept that and prepared the daily lessons.  No small sacrifice for them!    

They did a skit on the last day - his teachers are the ones holding the sign and narrating in the picture below.
