WHEN WE WERE NEWLY MARRIED AND NEW TO THE WARD, DAVID AND I WERE CALLED TO TEACH SUNDAY SCHOOL TO THE 15 YEAR OLDS IN OUR WARD. WE REALLY ENJOY IT EVERY WEEK. OUR CLASS IS SO NEAT. ALL THE KIDS ARE SO AWESOME. I THINK THE KIDS REALLY LIKE DAVID BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS TELLING THE BISHOPRIC THAT THEY WANT HIM IN THE YOUNG MENS AS WELL. SO TONIGHT WE GOT A CALL FROM ONE OF THE COUNSELORS IN THE BISHOPRIC. HE WANTED TO MEET WITH BOTH OF US ABOUT A NEW CALLING. WE WERE KIND OF WONDERING WHAT KIND OF CALLING HE WOULD BE GETTING TO HAVE TO HAVE ME THERE. SO WE HEADED ON DOWN TO MEET WITH HIM AND DAVID NOW HAS THE PROUD NEW CALLING OF 2ND COUNSELOR IN THE YOUNG MENS OF THE LEEDS 1ST WARD! HE WANTED ME THERE TO MAKE SURE I WOULD SUPPORT HIS NEW CALLING. HE WILL BE OVER THE DEACONS IN THE WARD. WE ARE BOTH PRETTY EXCITED. THE YOUNG MEN ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM. HE IS SO GOOD WITH KIDS OF ALL AGES AND I THINK HE WILL BE THEIR NEW ROLE MODEL. HE HAS SUCH A WONDERFUL SPIRIT AND TESTIMONY AND WILL DEFINATELY BE A GREAT EXAMPLE TO THOSE YOUNG MEN.
What a fun calling! I think he'll do great. What does this mean for your Sunday School teaching? Are you now a solo act or does Dave get to do double duty?
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Just watch out. Marty had that calling when we were first married too. Now look where he is. Young Mens is often where Marty looks when he needs a new counselor in the Bishopric!
