I've never been able to go to Education Week because it is always the same week that school starts. But this year I could go. The only thing that was in my way schedule wise was Devin's brother's wedding. But that was Friday and I figured I could go for at least part of the week. My mom and I went together. We had such a good time. It was everything I ever thought it would be. The only way I could describe it is EFY for adults. It was like drinking from a spiritual fire hose...nothing is better. (Well, I wish Devin could have come, that would have made it better.)
I am grateful for all the amazing things that I learned. One of the best parts was in one of our classes they showed us the bran new Nursery Manual. IT IS AMAZING!!! The guy who taught the class who works for the church curriculum department said that it is as important to have and use this manual in our homes as Preach My Gospel is. After flipping through it and reading it a bunch, my mom and I totally agree. We both ran out and bought one, it is so fantastic!
The week was wonderful! We were going to leave on Thrusday for the wedding at 4 o'clock, but I just couldn't stand missing the great classes, so Devin let me stay until 6pm. It was well worth getting to Idaho later.
If you ever have the chance to go to Education Week I would highly recomend it! Elder Hale's devotional from Tuesday alone was just wonderful!
Anyway, Yeah! for Ecuation Week! Yeah! for being life-long learners!

I am so jealous. It sounds like you had so much fun! And you got to go with your mom!
Would it be asking too much for you to bring the manual to nursery next week for Show & Tell? We had heard that there is going to be a new manual and we were sad, but now you've got me excited!
I have always wanted to go to education week and hearing what you have to say about it makes me want that even more. But right now is not my time or place--one day I'll make it!
I have been trying to get the new nursery manual for our ward, but you made me a bit less patient--maybe I'll go out and grab one too! And since you're going to be familiar with the new nursery manual, does that mean you're looking for a new job...maybe in the nursery?
That sounds like a great week. I'm glad you had a good time.
I went to Education Week last year in
Rexburg. I loved it too. Um I think I was getting married when they were having it this year. We'll see about next year.
I'm so glad you had tons of fun
When I attended Education Week it was the highlight of my year. I could give a year's worth of Young Women lessons from the stories and information that I gained from that one week. I really miss it. When I retire, I hope to attend again! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much. . .and with your mom, how great!
