So we got callings in our new ward this week. The Bishop’s first & second counselors came by to talk to Dave & I a few nights ago. We knew they had callings lined up for us (probably before we were ever officially in the ward, even! LOL) & had been speculating for the past week on what we thought they’d be.
Dave was right on in his guess & I was very close. I was hoping they’d call me to be the new Sunbeam teacher, so I wouldn’t have to worry about Logan. For now, that was not to be. I did tell the counselors what I observed in the class that was concerning to me & came right out & said I had been hoping to be called to teach in that class, but gladly accepted the calling they offered.
They asked Dave to be a ward missionary (no surprise there) & they called me to the Nursery. Dave’s been a ward missionary in the past, even serving as the ward mission leader for a while, & I’ve been in the Nursery for a while. I’m hoping Dave grows to love his calling as much as I’ve grown to love the Nursery. I’m actually excited to be back in there. I think I’m going to need to move Hayleah to the other nursery though. I want to encourage this independent streak she has going on & steer clear of the uber-attached, I-can’t-leave-you-alone-or-let-you-out-of-my-sight-for-a-minute, way of being they boys have embodied.
I haven’t figured out what I’m going to do with Logan yet. He won’t go to his class without me. In this case, I can’t say I blame him. The teacher’s personality & demands just would not fly with him. To be honest, they don’t fly with me. I’m pretty sure this guy won’t be the Sunbeam teacher much longer though. I really hope they find someone good with little kids so Logan can start to adjust to this change.
We shall see!
