Update: NEW new calling

First I was called as the 12-13 year old Sunday School teacher in First Ward.

Then when I finished teaching my first class, I was notified that I was not even being sustained, that the stake had pre-empted me.

Then the bishop told me he'd gladly let me go for what the stake had in mind, but just like a bishop we would not tell me what. Only dance around.

Then the stake finally called when we were in Reno last weekend and they are forming the first ever Young Single Adult branch in the Elko area, comprising both stakes. I am the second counselor in the branch presidency. This will be a blast. Cindy and I no longer live in First Ward but will attend the YSA Branch.

WOO HOO! A giant, quasi-mature, seminary class.

Oh man! Watch out Elko singles, you're about to be Boyded!

Oh Brian! That is so exciting! My mom and dad are here and I just read this to them and they really want to know who the other men are that you are serving with.

Perfect calling. They don't come along but once in your life. Savor it. Mold those YSA's into your image. Okay maybe not.

Cynthia said...

By the way Jessie, that is absolutely a word.

I try to aBoyd words like that, but sometimes you just feel a boid in your life and have to fill it. Especially when you are boid and want to entertain yourself.
