I moved into a new ward in February. Since before I moved, I've been wondering what calling I would get. Of course I got a Visiting Teaching route right away. It came with a rockin' partner who kicked my butt into gear. I love it when that happens!
Today I had a meeting with a member of the bishopric and left the meeting with a calling in primary!
I've been secretly wishing for a calling in primary. It's hard for me to pay attention. It's not that I don't listen, I just usually need to be doing more than one thing at a time, especially if I'm just sitting around for three hours. Primary keeps the blood pumping and works to entertain you. Yes, please! I'll be teaching the 6 year-olds :)
It's funny, but each time that I'm called to the primary, the bishopric member always asks if I'm OK with that because I teach at an elementary school and a calling in primary would mean working with children 6 days a week. I always feel that it validates my chosen profession. If the lord sees fit to call me to primary, then it proves to me that I chose wisely.
I've always wanted to be a mom. That's why I went into elementary education to begin with. I wanted to know the best way to teach children and if I needed to work, then I would be near to and on the same schedule as my own children. It hasn't happened yet, so I guess I'll have to persevere by borrowing other peoples' kids for a few hours a day.
Thanks folks! Your children are amazing!!!
