Employed Again!

Today I went and filled out pre employment paperwork with West Liberty Foods. I filled out an I 9 and took a brief physcial, and then I was told to report for orientation on Monday the 19th of January! After just over 2 months of unemployment I am finally working again!
Sadly it will be a swing shift again, 2-11. Heather and I have enjoyed spending so much time together and it will be difficult to be seperated again.

Primary

One thing that I forgot to mention that happened in December is Nick and I were extened a calling to be CTR8 Primary teachers. When we went to talk to the 1st councelor in the Bishopbric, I told Nick that I didn't want to go back into the primary. So when he extended the call for Nick and I to be team teachers, I told him that I would need some time. I didn't want to go back into the primary.

That night I prayed to know what I needed to do. I read a chapter in the Book of Mormon, and went to bed thinking that I would say no to the calling.

The next day I went to my mother's house to work on the quilts for Kirstin. While I was there, Tami (one of my co-workers) called me out of the blue. She said that she was out doing some shopping and that she was prompted by the spirit to call me. She thought that she needed to tell to accept a new position at work. But I knew better. I told her about what I was praying about the night before, and that is why she was calling. We talked for a few minutes, and I realized that I needed to accept the calling.

That Sunday, I talked to the councelor, and accepted the calling. I told him that I would accept the calling. Not because I needed it, but because I felt that it was either for Nick or one of the children in our class. I also said that Nick would have accepted the calling the night he first talked to us.

Last week was our first class. It is going to be really hard for me to like being in primary again. I think we have some really great kids. But I am going to have to truly trust in Heavenly Father to make it through. This is going to be my test.

Happy New Year!!

Wow it's 2009! I think this year will be a good one. I might have an opportunity to advance at work. We are hoping that Nick will find a good job. We have a new calling at Church, where we are team teaching together. And we will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary in May.

Here are the pictures of the two Quilts I made for Nick's sister.
