The new schedule

[MustardSeed]

I feel like we need another meeting to discuss the new schedule 😅

I teach GD and a guy in our class who attends every week was gobsmacked to learn that he would be attending Sunday school AND priesthood every week.  
 
I told him it was his fault that we had to spend the entire class time watching the videos.  ☠️🤣

and then we had to go to RS and watch another video and discuss yet again!  Apparently I did not get enough because here I am talking about it again. 
 

Heaven forbid bigger changes than this.

We might have forgotten to watch the videos today.

I know I am giving myself away as old and out of touch. Is it good, or bad, or something else, to be "gobsmacked", according to the current lexicon among our young people?

I found out Friday night that the young have changed the name of Bombay, India. I don't need to say the new name. I guess I dislike all the name changes and new vocabularies needed to communicate with the young.

But whatever. Enjoy your new schedule and your new words. Sorry that our words (and schedule?) don't work for you.

Do you mean Mumbai?  
 

If so, then I am smiling as I too have moments where I become aware of novelties to me that have actually existed for 30 years or longer.  

Mumbai became the official name in 1995 according to wiki.  So my guess is it was a bunch of fuddy duddies who changed it to be more consistent with a local version rather than the colonial name.

Hi MustardSeed.

 I apologize for my rant about new words and names of places. It distracted from the discussion and I am sorry if it seemed directed at you personally.

No worries.  My post was a meaningless rant itself.  
I don’t like being treated or talked to like we are 6 and teaching that class yesterday I felt highly annoyed.

I was visiting another ward this weekend and fear not - the Elder's Quorum still managed to find a way to make 25 minutes feel like forever.

Time will tell.  Our youth are very "whatever" about most administrative things.  It really depends on the teacher.  If they love the teacher, they are excited to be with them every week.  If they don't, they are mostly ambivalent thus far.  After watching last Sunday, I think we'll have much better discussions with the new format.  There was less "lessoning" and more discussing scripture and concepts.

I’d rather hear a lecture than listen to my ward discuss.  It’s the same 5 ladies who need group therapy but come to church instead 😕

I would have added to the videos to say that there is now officially a 3-comment-per-class limit for those who don't know how to stay quiet. 

Also, anyone who walks into class late is required to bring cinnamon rolls the following week.

I’d vote for you as our next apostle.

I'm with the youth.

I’m in primary so it’s basically same as usual there.  I’m kind of sad I don’t get to see this all play out!
