New Calling

A few weeks ago , Bro Bush came by the house to talk to C. about being released from his Scout committee chairman calling. while he was here I was able to talk to him about some of my frustrations about my calling, about my feeling a bit burned out and needing a change...He said he would pass the information along and what were my feelings on Primary.(I told him that it wouldn't be a problem). He let me know a week later that he talked to the Bishop about it ...About two weeks ago he asked to stop by and talk to me . I am being released as pianist for the Choir (thank you , thank you.) and then in the same sentence without taking a breath they asked if  I would be the 2nd counselor in the Primary. ( I was really hoping to be forgotten for a little while --not usually me luck).  I said yes I would accept it.
My first week in Primary I didn't have any responsibilities ,however a teacher didn't show up so the Secretary had me teach...,then I got to sit with the class through the rest of sharing/music time. It was so much fun. It has been a long time since I enjoyed myself this much at church.
    It has been a long time (15yrs) since I have been in a primary calling ,a lot of changes have been made over the years with the curriculum and in the scouting program. ( which I will be helping with...I have so missed being in scouting) . I don't know any of the kids ,very few of their parents ,I am terrible with names but hopefully with the Lords help I can learn them quickly.  Our ward really seems to be having a hard time meshing together since this last ward change, at least it seems that way in sunday school and R.S. but the kids do not  seem to have that problem .(...become as a little child...) It was a really nice ,refreshing change. Even though this means more meetings then I have had to go to in a long while, hopefully this will be a good change.

  1. Sounds like this could be a good thing. I hope you enjoy it. You have done such a good job with the choir and have really stretch your ability by working in this calling. I am very proud of your accomplishments on Piano & Organ.
    Love, mom

  2. thanks Mom. It has been a good experience, and has taught me a lot. I am sure it won't be very long before I will back in a music calling again...Once you are in you are in.
