Well, when I wrote a while back about being asked to teach Relief Society at the last minute, I didn’t realize that it was an audition!
Yep, I have received a new calling and was sustained and set apart on Sunday as a Relief Society Instructor. I’m very excited! I’m a little nervous, too, but I hope that after a few lessons I’ll get over that. I get to teach once a month (every third Sunday), from the new Joseph Smith Manual. This will be so fun!

I’m jealous. I was just sustained last Sunday as ward organist. I’m still an assistant scoutmaster with the 11-year-old scouts, so I have two callings now. And I’m not really a good enough organist to pull this off without a whole lot of daily practice.

So… are you jealous that I have a super cool calling, or that I get to teach Relief Society ladies, or that I don’t have to practice my calling every day? 🙂

Yes, I’m jealous that you have a super cool calling, or that you get to teach from the Joseph Smith book, or that you don’t have to practice your calling every day.

Those or’s are inclusive.

Well, and I’m happy for both Angie & Russel! Callings are mostly about helping us grow, develop talents, and give Christ-like service. Both of you will get to do all these things in your callings. How wonderful it is that we have a church organization that gives us these chances to step out of our comfort zones and stretch ourselves for the building up of the kingdom! Russel, I have heard you practice and know that you have more talent than you give yourself credit for! You have a great musical “touch” and I think one of the reasons you feel inadequate is because you have such a good musical ear, but that is also exactly what makes you a great choice as an organist. And, Angela, how I wish I could come sit in on one of your lessons! I guess maybe I will have to come visit on one of the Sundays you teach sometime, after you “get your wings” so to speak! Love you both!

I don’t usually leave comments on people’s blogs, but I am a member of Angela’s ward and member of the Relief Society Presidency. So I guess in some far out way you can blame me for her new calling! I do have to say that we are all super excited to have her teach, and I will be forever grateful for her willingness to teach at the very last minute. Plus, Angela is a great choir conductor so I am enjoying that too! Thanks Angela for everything!
