Semi-Seminary Teacher!

With the previous Seminary teacher having been called onto the Bishopric he has been released as a teacher. The new stand-in teacher is unable to collect Myrra by car in the mornings to go to the class, due to health reasons, and at that hour of the morning it isn't safe for her to walk down there alone. The alternative possibilities would be:
a) to drop out, which would be a crying shame after all she's done and this being her third year
b) to do home study which with her other pressures of extra English and maths lessons at college would put her under a great deal of pressure and have more of a negative effect
c) me to stand in as her seminary teacher and conduct the lessons at the same time each morning but here in our own home with just a class of one.

We opted for the third option.

The course of study is The Old Testament which can be pretty heavy going but I think I'm going to gain a lot from it too. So far we've had 3 lessons and I think it's working out pretty well.
