So some of you may know that Phil and I were called to be in out ward's nursery. Well, let me tell you what, that was a kick in the pants! We had eight boys in our class. Most days the liked throwing balls with Phil, other days...they just decided to play demolition derby. Don't get me wrong, I love each one of them, they are probably some of the funniest little kids I have ever met, but boy were they a handfull! The last couple of weeks we have been taking to opening exercises of Primary. The first week they didn't really know what to expect so they sat very still and tried to sing the songs. Phil and I were pretty pumped because we thought we would be chasing them all over the place. One of the boys in our class just sat right next to me and made sure that I knew what everyone was saying. This is how it went... tap tap tap on the shoulder. "Yes Nick?" "Umm, (toddler mumbo jumbo), Jesus (more toddler talk) families forever." He would do this mulitple times while he listened to the talks. It was so cute! I loved knowing that this cute little boy, that I sometimes can't understand, knows who Jesus Christ is. He is learning that his family will be together forever. I just love it. Whenever we hold up a picture of Jesus in class ALL of our boys know exactly who he is. They make me smile.



Well, now that you know about our Nursery, you need to know that we just got released. :( I'll be honest, I was pretty bumbed. I feel like I finally got the hang of handling eight boys, giving a lesson and actually having them understand it. I just have to know that Phil and I did what we were called to do. Phil hasn't received his new calling, but I have. Young Womens, Laurel Advisor. What the heck?! These girls are almost my age! I guess it helps that I coach 15 high school girls. This is what makes me nervous. I just got baptised and I feel like I am still learning. I don't really know what I'm going to be doing but I guess I will see. I know everything will be fine, I just can't help being a little nervous. I'll let you know how this Sunday goes.
