Cinnamon Roll Fail

I work with girls 11-14 at church, and we have activities every Wednesday that as t they choose. Tonight, they wanted to make cinnamon rolls. Of course, I assumed they wanted them from scratch. We only have an hour, so I made the dough in advance with the intention of rolling out the dough and baking them while we were there. We had a slight problem. The ovens at the church turn off after a while. They were on when I put the rolls in, but turned off at some point. When it was time to wrap up the activity, they were not even close to done. I needed up bringing them home with the promise to bring them to the girls on Sunday. They agreed to this solution. I feel bad they won’t have them when they are fresh. Next time, I will just buy the refrigerated kid that only take a 15ish minutes.

A Bit Sad

Today, one of the members of the bishopric was released to serve a service mission in the addiction and recovery program for this area. His wife was also released as the advisor for my Young Women's class for the same reason. I was told that she was being released, but I was not ready for him to be. When they announced that he was being released, I cried a bit. He is such a loving and caring man and someone I look up to greatly. I know I will still see him and his wife at church each week, but not working with them in the youth program will be hard. I know I am sad for selfish reasons. They will be amazing in their new calling, but they will be missed by those of us who had the opportunity to serve with them over the past few years.
