A New Additional Calling


Happy Fast Sunday, I got a new calling. I didn't loose my Family History Calling, but I was sort of bored in just going to classes each Sunday and not serving, when I knew I was a good teacher.

So, I prayed about it and told the Bishop that if he had any need of me, but to remember that I still held my calling as a Regional Family History Trainer, but I could possible do something on Sundays if he had need of me. So, last night I got a call from Brother Bailey and he asked me to meet with him about 15 minutes before Church, that he had a calling for me. I won't hold you in suspense any longer, I was called to be the CTR 5 year old teacher and I am really excited about it. I have 4 little boys, all smart as whips, and I told them I had 2 grandsons that were 5 and when I showed them Caleb and Briggs photos, they were impressed.
I just want to say that I love the Lord. I believe in Christ and am so glad that he watchs out for our families. I'm grateful to be able to serve in the capacity of Primary and Family History, which happen to be the gifts He has given me and now I can serve with all my heart, mind, might and strength for as long as He wants me to. I love my family very much also, and want all my grandchildren to know how much I admire and love them.
On a sadder note, I have lost my notes that say what callings in the Church I have had and when I got them. For years, I was writing down each time me or Lary or one of my children got a call, but now it's gone for me. Larry still has his, but I have lost mine. If anyone of my kids can look at their PAF files and see if under my notes, I have that listed, I would be eternall grateful. I'm hearsick at loosing that piece of information. I thought I was so careful, but alas, no one is infallible, especially me.

You will have those boys all whipped into shape in 1 week. Maybe I should have you sub for me and get my kids in shape before I take over the 6 yr olds!
