Daddy's New Calling

Today was Brooklyn's first time wearing a dress! It was a little big on her - especially her tights. In fact, our Sunday School class decided that they weren't "tights" at all but rather called them "loosies." They are so clever. =)


Last night we got a call from our new bishopric asking us to come to a meeting this morning at 8:45. They asked Jason to be the new ward missionary. He was sustained and set apart today and got a very nice blessing. Apparently there has not been a missionary program in this ward for a while. The ward mission leader is also new and Jason is the only ward missionary. So they have their work cut out for them! I barely caught Jason still in his church clothes after we got home. The tie had already been removed. I guess he will have to get used to being dressed up again now that he is a missionary!

Tonight Jason's cousin, Ryan, came over with his new wife, Heather. They wanted to see the baby and she actually behaved pretty well for them. That's a first for Brooklyn - she generally likes to scream and give a very bad impression to whomever comes to see her. I forgot to take pictures. I guess I am still learning how to be a good blogger. Overall, it was a very full and productive day. I think we are all tired, especially those of us who were up from 4 to 6 am and had to get up at 7:15 to get ready... Brooklyn's still figuring out the difference between night and day I think. At least she slept through Sacrament meeting and Sunday School. And it's a good thing she's so cute!

Awesome Jason, that's a rewarding calling, I'm sure you know! Josh was in the ward missionary program for awhile, first missionary and then leader. I loved feeling like I was part of the missionary work since I was home supporting him. It's as close as I've gotten to official missionary work. Sorry you are not getting more sleep!

Congratulations for your new call Jason, that you were working very hardly in and that Our Celestial Father has many benedictions for you, one of them is Brooklyn, I continue working like Consulting of Family History. (I'm sorry it for the English evil that I have!). Lesly
