Primary Program/New Calling

Today was our Primary program (for those who are saying ?PRIMARY? it is the organization in our church for all of the children). There are 100 kids in Primary including about 20 kids from the Deaf Branch. There were so many kids! The Sunbeams (3 yrs olds) were on risers in front of the podium and yep, you guessed it, a kid fell off during the program. Poor little guy. Anyway, Anna sang a solo today. A few older kids introduced the theme and then Anna sang "I am a Child of God" from the podium. She wore a pretty white dress and sang so beautifully. Even some of the men were crying. Both Anna and Ty had lines and they did a great job despite the fact that we didn't practice the lines at home- oops! Grandma Winslow and Aunt Krista came to watch. We were very proud of Tyson this year too. He has NEVER been able to get up on his own. I've either sat with him or he has just refused to go up. This year, he sat with his class, did his line, sang, and everything. GOOD JOB TY!

In other news, I was issued a new calling today. I was released as a Young Women teacher a few weeks ago. After the Young Women's was reorganized, the Young Men's and part of the Bishopric have also been changed. Today I was called in right before church and asked to be the Secretary in the Relief Society. It'll be a lot of work. I only know the first counselor. She reminds me of my sister Mandi and I really like her. The other women are older and today was the first time I have met them. When I was set apart today, I felt really good about it and I feel that the calling will help me a lot in the areas of my life where I struggle right now. I'm also excited to get to know the women in the ward.

Anyway, that was our Sunday. Hope your Sabbath is good.

Our Primary Presentation was today also. . . Alma sat there picking his nose, and Lili was up front-and-center(a sunbeam) making silly faces and poking herself in the eye. Yea, Motherhood is great! Oh, good luck with your calling. Being in the RS would be a nice change. Have fun!

Congratulations on your new calling. I'm pretty partial to RS right now and I think it's a great place to serve. You will get to know and love the sisters in your ward so much better.
