I, too, have often wondered how my students turned out, and where they are now. I did get a chance to see one of them at my birthday party last summer and was able to tell her how she was one of my favorites - she is doing well.Louise Bloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720563725669666384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-19348035504258810142012-03-31T20:19:11.606-06:002012-03-31T20:19:11.606-06:00Good teachers leave lasting gifts to the next gene...Good teachers leave lasting gifts to the next generation. I am always proud to mention the many teachers in our family.

I, too, was moved by the MTC choir this afternoon. The sound was beautiful, but it was the light in their faces that carried the message. <br />And yes, Ann, I almost didn't recognize the front row....a missionary haircut is transforming.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569698790555557740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-79322839434963994192012-03-31T19:26:12.829-06:002012-03-31T19:26:12.829-06:00Tender thoughts for such a good day.

And if you looked very closely at the end of the last verse of the closing hymn, the camera caught David Archuleta (Elder Archuleta) in the MTC choir. Beautiful young people who have faith that they can make a difference. The world needs more just like them.<br />Dwight, a teacher has an amazing opportunity to touch so many lives and you did that with your heart and soul. I hope your memories help give you a sense of peace. Yours has been an amazing journey.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652616779595499610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-70799933330025227142012-03-31T17:51:53.960-06:002012-03-31T17:51:53.960-06:00Brought a tear to my eye.

My missionary grandchildren have talked about what a defining experience the MTC was for them. But it must be special to be there and be able to sing for General Conference, too. And, once a teacher, always a teacher, and nostalgia for the classroom lingers, even in my dreams.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728351230605312730noreply@blogger.com
