So today I was called to be the 1st Counselor in the Primary Presidency. However, in a young married ward, this really means I'm a babysitter in the nursery!! Haha. There are about 10 kids in our ward that come to nursery/primary and they range from about 18 months to 3 years. Today was my first day and because I still don't know a ton of people in the ward, I knew none of the childrens' names but I soon learned them from the other girls in there. Today it pretty much consisted of play time, singing (I really need to study up on those primary song words again...), Sunbeams (where anyone 3 years old gets to go learn a lesson (there are two of them), back to the whole group for snack time, and then play time again. It is funny trying to teach a lesson to the girls in Sunbeam because if you ask them a question they always resopond with "Jesus Loves Me!!" Well, at least they are learning something. I look forward to hanging out with the little kids for the next couple of months!!
FUN! I just got released as a nursery leader in my ward only because I think I am getting to big and pregnant to get down on the floor with the kids any more!! lol! But if you haven't already, get your hands on the new nursery manual, and buy yourself the church Primary Songs on CD and listen to them in your car!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have a blast! It's actually been my most favorite calling! yay!
It can be tough being around kids for most of church, but I've always found that the more effort I put into my callings the more I love them. You'll love it.
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled on your blog, you two are a lovely couple!
