New Calling

We've had an exciting Sunday! We got a call Saturday night that we missed they didn't call until about 9:15 pm and I was putting the girls to bed and had the ringer on low so we didn't hear it. The phone rang again Sunday morning at 7:19 am it was Brother Price, again we didn't make it to the phone in time, he left a message wanting to make sure we were going to make our 8:15 appt with the Stake President that morning that we didn't know about until then . So we rushed to get ready and be there in less than an hour. With no idea why he needed to meet with both of us. I suspected maybe a stake calling for Paul (hoping not me). Getting into the jeep it wouldn't start, we had to jump it off. We arrived about 5 min late... To find out that we were getting a new Bishop and Bishopric, and Paul was being called as the 2nd counselor in the bishopric.

I'm grateful that I've found a husband that is worthy to hold the priesthood. And can receive a calling like that. I know Paul will do his best. And I guess he is now the youngest High Priest at our ward now. He turns 31 in 2 weeks. He told me when we got home that he feels old now. My comment was now we can't go to the elders quorum socials, and the High Priest don't have socials.

I know I'll be a single mom on Sundays now, but I was already. Paul normally had meeting for Elders Quorum in the mornings and I already had to get everybody ready on my own. I actually like Paul serving in the Church our home seems to be much happier when he has a calling that he is fulfilling.

Although now he says we can not turn the TV on Sundays and we're trying harder to say our prayers together at night and read a few chapters together at night in the Book Of Mormon. Hopefully we can stay with it. You don't know how many times we've read the book of Nephi together but don't normally get much further than that.

As long as he is serving in the Church I can handle him being away from us, because I know he is where the Lord wants him and we will have what we need without him. And he will be with great men of the Church doing the Lords work.
