New Calling

So on Sunday I recieved a calling, it was hilarious how it came about so I will start with that.

Two weeks ago we had tithing settlement and while we were there the Bishop a man that we have known for years, and so we have a very good relationship with him, goes "Before I forget Debbie (the releif society president) has asked that you be a visiting teaching something or other I can't remember the name" to which I responded "Visiting teaching supervisor?" he went "yeah that". So of course I said yes, talk about easy calling.

One Sunday our brand new counsler in the Bishopric did the releases and callings, per the course because it was his first Sunday doing it, he messed up. He did all the releases and released me, Melaine looked at me and laughed, the Bishop smiled and the other counsler tapped him and told him that he had messed up, so he says that he released me when he meant to call me, so he did the callings and called me to be a Visiting Teaching Supervisor.

Then I get to Relief Society and Debbie announces that they messed again in Sacrament and that I was not a supervisor, but the Visiting Teaching Coordinator. A calling that I am familiar with as I had it in the past.

I am very excited as I have a strong testimony of Visiting Teaching and it's power.

It's Christmas Time

I love Christmas it is one of my all time favorite times of year. It is the one time of year when I bake, make goodies, and let my kids eat what ever they want.

This year has been a little different for us in that for the first time in years we are living by family and have to take them into consideration with what we are doing. It has been a struggle but I think that we are getting there.

One of our favorite things to do during Christmas is to see all the different Christmas decorations. In Albuquerque we were limited on what there was, however here now that is a different story. Starting the Monday before Thanksgiving, every Monday between then and Christmas we would go see a different Christmas thing, so far we have been to the tree at Town Square where they have re-created a Norman Rockwell Christmas, we have been to the Etherl M Gardens lights, Mike and I went on a date to the Bellagio to check out their tree(which is absolutely amazing, those that live here it is a cheap date, hot chocolate the water show and Christmas decorations).

The one thing that we do miss however is the snow. My boys get up every morning and ask if it has snowed yet. Maybe, it sure is cold enough.
