While I was sitting in the chapel waiting for the Sacrament meeting to start I got a message from the Bishop asking to see me after today's meetings.
I thought oh dear it's because I didn't get back to him last week on Tuesday evening. Perhaps he wanted to see how things were going at home with the boys and with Mark. Well that was true he did ask about that. Or that perhaps I am in trouble for something lol.
The next bit was a surprise though. I was a little surprised but not really. First of all I will explain what the Bishop said then I will tell you why it wasn't a big surprise. The Bishop asked me if I would like to have a part time calling to go along with the one for the Relief Society newsletter. He said don't worry it's not a full time calling just one for when one of the sisters is absent on a Sunday. Then he told me that it was to be a helper/teacher (or whatever the job is called) in Nursery! He said that when both of the usual sisters are present on Sundays that I am not required in nursery and that I can attend my usual classes. How cool is that?!?! I said to the Bishop I love working with little kids but that I had forgotten a lot of what it was like. Then I told him why I wasn't surprised today that he mentioned the calling in Nursery. I told him that as I was preparing to get ready for Church today I was thinking about something as simple as wearing my high heeled shoes but I got a prompting to wear flat shoes instead so that I would be more comfortable and the word nursery popped into my head for some reason. Now I know why! Not only was I asked this morning to help in nursery but I received a calling too!!!
I guess that even though I don't always know that the Holy Ghost is with me that he really does sometimes talk to me. I am just so glad that I listened. I can't tell you how my feet would've felt after chasing these cute toddlers around!!
