I LOVE church!

I've missed my ward SO much! So, so, SO much! Today was my first day back to my ward in almost a month... I'm so grateful for just being able to go to church, but there's really something special about belonging to your own ward. It's like home.

While passing the sacrament, Michael- the mentally disabled boy in my Sunday School Class- kept saying "Aubrey! Aubrey's back!" Yaay. =) Michael is good at making you feel special.
I feel so much like family with my Sunday School class. It's not really the same with my Young Womens class. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Young Women leaders and the fellow young women, but I just feel closer to my Sunday School class. Probably because I've been with them longer, heh.
My Sunday School teacher, Brother Sanchez, is great. He's the father to Michael and is really good with him. He's an excellent teacher and lets us talk a lot. =D I also love all my fellow... 13 year olds? Haha. It's a pretty small class. Two girls- including me- and three boys. It's great because they're all so different. Ashlyn is laid-back and likes to joke around, Ryan is really quiet and smart, Peter is more loud and also has this lazy, sarcastic attitude. That sounds bad, but it's not, I promise! And Michael is always cheerful and willing to help.
I've come to appreciate things so much more now. Especially church.
What a good day! I hope everything continues to go well!
