We got a CALLING....

So yesterday Oct 12, 2008 (fast sunday), we were getting ready for church, or at least i was, Shawn was getting something to eat. As he was pouring his bowl of cereal my dad asked "isn't it fast sunday today?" shawn was now pouring the milk and he thought, well i can't let this go to waste, so he went on to eat it. As he started eating, the phone rang....dun, dun, dun.....that's right, someone for the church calling for me and shawn. I was in the bathroom doing my hair and i had the door open so i could hear, and this is what i heard "hello, this is he, yeah we are planning on coming, at 10:30, let me ask my wife.." Uh huh, we had to meet with the bishop before church. We get there and the bishop was asking how we were doing in the ward, and if we were comfortable...he then mentioned that people have asked for our help. So Shawn is now a sunday school teacher for the 14-17 year olds, and I am in the primary, not sure what I am doing, neither does the bishop, but he said we'll find out soon.
We talked about the callings after church, and we both figure it's a blessing to be called, we get to teach the youth, and we get to serve the Lord. We are greatful for our callings, and we feel this will help us spirtually, which is something we both need right now!!

*NEVER EAT ON A FAST SUNDAY*

we learned our lesson!!!
