Ok, so I went to the first rehearsal for this youth road show thing and it couldn't have gone any, well, how do I say this... worse! The person running the thing (I know he's trying) has no clue what it takes to put something like this together even if it is real simple and he has no organizational skills. So I got there and with no introduction to the kids or anything, he said "Ok, Buffy is going to teach everything to you now go listen". First of all, only the boys were there and no girls for the 1st hour and I informed him this would be a problem... he didn't listen. So here I am, a short girl with a voice that doesn't carry over squeeking mice trying to teach a bunch of young men who have no interest in being involved and would all much rather escape than learn a routine to a song. The youth leader kept taking away and adding kids the entire time and my little voice did nothing to corale these kids. Then halfway through it after the girls came in, many of the boys walked out and I guess practice was over. I had no desire to compel anyone to do this thing since I don't even know what is going on so I too left.
Yikes!!! So I just emailed the guy in charge and said sorry man, I can't do this (in a few more words than that). I don't usually quit things but this was out of control.
Now watch I'm gonna get a calling with the next ward we are in to work with the youth!
Well, that's what happened and I thought I'd share since I mentioned it before. I don't know what I'll do when I have to see this guy in church even though I know I shouldn't feel guilty.
I know I've been blogging a lot lately but I know I appreciate reading all of your blogs!
