Hometeaching companion

I received my hometeaching assignment this month in our new ward in Houston.  Usually hometeachers get paired together as companions, however, I did not get one, so last night I took Ava with me.  A couple of years ago, I was counseled to take my children with me on my priesthood assignments so they could witness priesthood service in action.  It was difficult at the time because they were itty bitties (the oldest was 4) and I traveled on assignment to attend meetings and speak to other congregations.

But now they have some experience and know what to expect, and we went to visit a family with children her age.  I enjoyed have that one-on-one time with her, especially in perceiving her genuine interest in the lesson we would teach together and how she could best do her part.  I look forward to future experiences with my children seeing and being touched by service.
