Week 3 in a new ward...
I was asked to meet with a counsiler in the bishopric yesterday. I knew it was coming. I sat down and he said that they would like to extend a calling to me. As he was saying the words, in my mind I was saying "Really, you couldn't find anything else for me to do..." Sunbeam leader. And not just any. I am going to be helping a lady because she can't handle all of them. Did they think that because I stayed home with an energetic toddler that I was qualified to do this? Really? There is a reason I only have one right now. Because I can't quite handle 20 of them. I know that I was put in there for a reason and that it was the Lord who wants me there, but really? I cherish the Sunday adult interaction that I had for a whole 3 weeks. I will miss you. But I know that I will love these kids and that I will love my calling, just like I did in my last ward. Any advice from you Sunbeam veterans??

Some good advice from your Aunt Barb - medicate yourself...heavily!!! Just kidding, you will be great at that calling, you will probably be very grateful for your cute little Jacob every Sunday when you get done. Good Luck!!
BLESSINGS-that's all I can say!
Oh man, I feel for you! I got a calling this Sunday too, and all I could think was "Please not with the little kids!" We love them it's just that uninterrupted adult interaction is priceless! Good luck!
Oh how I wish that I could have the calling. I love primary. Some things that I did when I was a Sunbeam leader was take them back and forth to primary or class with them holding on to a rope, they loved it. I also made little reverence cards that I showed them each week to try to teach them. And just coming from nursery, I usually gave them a small snack.
