Dallin and I were just giving callings in our ward. He was called as a Gospel Doctrine teacher and I was called as the Nursery Coordinator. We are both excited to finally have callings again. Dallin has been able to attend Sunday School since we moved into the ward and I have been helping Garrison get used to going to nursery. Its been a process, he loves being there but doesn't feel comfortable yet with being alone. So Dallin recently downloaded the Sunday School manual to his phone and has been answering and summing up some parts of the lesson on Sundays. This has impressed a great deal of people in the class and we think that might have something to do with him getting that calling.=) Obviously the Lord wanted his teaching and so that is why he got the calling but it was pretty funny when the member of the bishopric asked him to serve and also said we are just really impressed with your comments. Dallin does have really great insight on the gospel one of the many reasons why I feel madly in love with him. So I am really happy for him to have this calling because I think he will do a great job, I just hope that I will be able to make it to the class every now and then with my calling.
The ward recently split the nursery. A few weeks ago we have about 13 kids in the nursery and it was overwhelming. There are a handful of kids that really need 1 on 1 and there wasnt enough help in the nursery to give them that, so they decided to split it and it has been amazing since they did. I think its great for all of the kids because they actually get to sit down and play with a toy and not worry about someone coming over and stealing it from them. There are enough toys for to have their own and for the kids that needed 1 on 1, like Garrison its a much more chill environment and he is already more comfortable with it. So I am really happy with that. So I will start my calling in a couple of weeks and will report more on that later.
Sarah gave a talk today in Sacrament meeting and did a great job, the talk had a really great flow to it and you can tell that she really loves this gospel. Its always amazing to see your siblings bear their testimony and talk about the gospel. Her talk was about girls camp and the things she learned. I love girls camp and I am so happy that she enjoys it when she goes. I wish I could go with her. Maybe next year!
Brother Webster who is the 1st counselor in the bishopric spoke for a few minutes at the end of Sacrament meeting. He told a great story about farming=) He talked about when his family was growing corn and potatoes each in a different season. During the corn season their was some potatoes growing and his Dad told him to pull it because right now it is a weed. The potatoes just didnt belong their at that time. He went on to talk about timing, timing for dating, marriage, children, missions. Anything that is good in your life but if done at the wrong time is a weed. Like having children before marriage, although having children is a good thing it is not that right time before marriage. I loved the analogy, it really just made sense to me.
We were also set apart today for our new callings and I felt so blessed to have worthy members of the priesthood give me a blessing. It gave me strength to know that the Lord is very aware of me and my family and that he wants to bless us. I am so grateful for this gospel and the impact it has had on my life.
