Callings

Neal and Caius are both sick. Caius is just getting over his cold, and Neal's is just starting. Miraculously, I have remained healthy for the past few months, while Neal and Caius have been passing colds back and forth to each other.

Today I received a calling! I was sustained today, and will be set apart next week. I was asked to be the Ward Choir Director. In this ward that includes picking out the hymns we sing during sacrament meeting, and organizing special musical numbers. Right now our ward's choir sings for holidays, but I have been asked to plan for the choir to sing once a month. I feel inadequate almost every time I get a new calling, but this one is especially scary! I know of many people in our ward who are musically inclined, and sing well, and lead music confidently. Needless to say, I was surprised to be asked. I have one loyal (and extremely talented) choir member already who has been very supportive. Thank you, Neal!

Neal also has a calling, which he received two or three months ago. He is on the "Redeem the Dead Committee." They basically plan and attend Ward Temple Nights, and try to get the members of the ward to come. We have attended every Temple Night since Neal was called, and it is so nice to be at the Temple so often. We have a lot of people who have been willing to babysit Caius for us, and we are so grateful to them.
