Are you sure?.....
At church I received a new calling. (In our church their isn't a paid clergy, so members of the church are asked to do different assignments, called callings. It helps people to develop different talents and gives you a chance to learn and grow through study and prayer.) The bishop called a couple weeks ago and asked if he could meet with Drew and I before church. So we were talking about possible reasons the bishop would want to meet with us. Drew was thinking it would be a get to know you thing. But I was pretty sure that we were going to get new callings, and I was pretty sure I was going into primary. I was mostly right. The bishop asked me to be the primary president. My first thought was are you sure? I was thinking I was going to be a teacher, or something along those lines. It's a little overwhelming. The primary program is in November, and they would like a budget and next year curriculum order turned in soon. But I'm excited. I'll be working with some great people. Our primary (18 months -12 yrs) is pretty small we have about 25 to 30 kids, half of them being in nursery. So it should be an exciting and challenging new adventure.

THIS IS CRAZY!! That's like my worse nightmare. I would have a hard time saying yes to that. Maybe they'd have a hard time letting me into heaven. I can't imagine doing that with two kids, too. You'll do a great job! What's with wards and giving brand new people huge callings?
that should have been worst, not worse.
holy cow!! That is really awesome! You'll definitely have alot of chances to lead & grow in that calling! Good luck, you'll be great ;)
