Callings

Sunday, 10 June 2007

New callings for new members! Michael and me were set apart as the Ward Missionary and the Visiting Teaching Coordinator, respectively, today.

It was about 7:50 am last Sunday when Brother Harrison called and asked if Michael & me would come and see Bishop Snow at 8:40 am. We were not told why but we felt why. We were right - callings!

When Bishop Snow asked me how I felt about it. I said expressionlessly that I would try. I love visiting teaching. It has been my favorite calling but ............... to be called as a Visiting Teaching Coordinator, where I could only associate faces with some names so far, it was a frightening feeling of inadequacy. I can't even get used to sitting as a right side passenger in the front seat of the car and moving on the right side of the road! Bishop Snow didn't know that deep inside me, I was crying "no, Bishop Snow, not this calling".

I didn't feel too worried after talking to the Relief Society President. We will be working on it together :)

Hi Irene,

What a surprise!!!

I must tell you that it took me a while to go through your blogs and finally confirm that you're married =) Congratulations!

It's great that you're very diligent in blogging so I can still keep up with what you're doing.

Best wishes to you and Michael--for your marriage and the new callings too!
