New Calling

I have barely settled in to my callings as Visiting Teaching supervisor and Compassionate Service committee member when I was called in on Sunday and released from those callings.  I was very nervous about what my new calling would be.  

I'll be honest and tell you that I did not relish the thought of being called as a Primary teacher in one of my kids' classes.  Now don't get me wrong.... I love my kids.  But if you recall from an earlier post - I take lots and lots and lots of pictures of my boys in order to remind myself that I love them because they do so many things on a daily basis to challenge that belief.  I could fill a shelf of books with all the stories of things they do that drive me crazy... hence all the picture taking to soften my heart when someone runs up the stairs crying and tattling on another brother for umpteenth time in a day.

So when Brother Brooks asked me if I would be willing to be the Gospel Doctrine teacher the "yes" somehow rolled off my tongue.  I guess because the previous night and all that morning I had been fearing a calling to one of my boys' classes (don't be offended Dede)  so staying with the adults all of a sudden seemed just fine.... but wait a minute... didn't I always say in the past that I would DIE if I was EVER called to be the Gospel Doctrine teacher???  Strangely enough I'm calm so far.  That's probably because I don't have to teach for two more Sundays.  I'll be freaking out soon enough... you'll see.  That's what I get for slacking in my personal scripture studying lately!!! :P  no slacking now!!!
