Primary Calling

The week we were in SLC on Sunday morning Lee's Step-Mom informed me that somebody from the ward at stopped by and said he was the bishops assistance.  After several phone calls and emails on Monday morning I still had no idea who had stopped by but I was pretty certain what it was regarding.  I knew they were going to call me to primary secretary. 

Saturday in the middle of complete chaos the 2nd counselor in the bishopric stopped by to tell me what I already knew.  I accepted although all week I had debated if I would.  WOW!!!  This calling is going to be like a part time job.  Contact all the parents of the kids who signed up for opening/closing exercises.  Do the rolls. All the birthday cards for teachers and kids. Keep track of all the move ins and move outs for the primary.  Make sure every class has a teacher every Sunday.

I was disappointed to not be the teacher when all the boys in my class are going to be baptized but they combined the two classes the same age and so we didn't have to call a new teacher which is a good thing.

I am overwhelmed as the is 3/4 of the presidency.  But we will all learn together.  I am further disappointed that I won't be back in Relief Society. I miss having adult learning experiences. But I do have far more adult contact in this calling then I did as the primary teacher.

I have made a few suggestions one of which did not go over well. Moving on....

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things.

When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
