That's right! After almost a year of being in our new ward we just got callings. They called last week, asked for me and wondered if I could meet with the bishop. So, I met with them last week and they kept asking if Ryan was out of town, and I thought "that's silly I wonder why they think he's out of town". So, naturally I said, "nope...not out of town".
We chit chatted for a little bit (me, bishop and both councelors), found out the one of them, Brother AhQuin, is from Laie. Small world! Then they proceeded to tell me that they wanted to give US callings, and that they wanted us to be Nursery workers. My first thought was, "oh dear - I'm guessing Ryan should have been here". Then they ask if we would accept it. So on behalf of myself and Ryan I accepted. They asked if Ryan was going to be ok with it, I said "well, he'll get used to the idea". I go home and tell Ryan and he thought it was a joke. We still can't figure out why the secretary asked for me, after Ryan picked up the phone, and why he asked if I could meet with the Bishop.
So, today was our first day as Nursery workers. I had a blast! Ryan, on the other hand, didn't talk much and still can't get much out of him so I'm guessing he's still in shock after being surrounded by crying kids for 2 hours. He'll get used to it. :)

Wow thats an exhausting calling, you will be great!
Oh dear is probably the right expression. Took them long enough to get callings for you guys!
I love nursery! Tell Ryan to live it up, cuz there really isn't any other calling where you get to play and have snacks for 2 hours.
Ha! That is so funny. I just told Brother Arnell about you two on Sunday. I guess I won't be banging on your door at 3am after all.
Dang, I April - I was so looking forward to those 3 am knocks. :)
April n' John - thanks for the "pep post"
Debbie - I blame you and Matt. You two wanted to move and it forced us into a new ward! I was happy being YM Pres over no YM...
Sharon - there are no cool toys there and if I take mine they will make me share. And I am not a huge fan of Ritz crackers.
April - I would rather have you knock on our door @ 3 am than peeking into our windows @ 3 am.
Wait... why 3 am?
