Before I got called to Young Women, we had a Primary meeting with the Stake leaders, and I learned that one of the Stake Primary Counselors teaches private swim lessons at her home. I was so excited to sign the girls up! One-on-one is the best way to learn how to swim, so even though we could only afford one week of lessons, it was wonderful! The girls LOVE Sister Zitting and all they talked about was swimming lessons! They even made her some cute little notes.
I love how Gracie drew Sister Zitting as a big fish and her as a little fish in the picture below.
We ate a picnic lunch while the girls took turns with their lessons and Sister Zitting even put out a sprinkler for the kids to run in while they waited. Her name is Mila Zitting and she is from Peru, so Tim has talked with her a bit before since he served his mission there.
We'll definitely keep taking lessons from her each summer as long as she teaches!
So proud of you two mermaids!! Pleased as punch with your writing skills and your thoughtful notes to your swimming teacher and with your bravery at learning to swim!
