Hi everybody,
Last week I didn't write, but my excuse is that I had just driven home from spending the weekend in Boise with Heidi's and Dixie's families. I must admit...it's pretty nice to have two of our kids living so close that I can do that in a weekend.
The first night there, Kevin and Zach stayed home with their kiddo's and the girls and I went thrift store shopping and had supper at Chick-fil-A. For a mom, it was about the best way to spend an evening! Then the next day we just hung out...and that night went to Stake Conference, where Dixie sang a solo. She sang Our Savior's Love. It was wonderful. Then the next day, Heidi sang in the Stake Choir, and it was equally wonderful. Sitting in the congregation and singing with Zach, Kevin, the girls and the kiddos was such a neat thing for me.
At work, my project for Cardiac Rehab outpatient education has finally come together. My power point is pretty much ready, as is the lesson outline. I showed it to my boss the other day and she seems very pleased. Now I'll meet with the Physical Therapy Cardiac guy and if he is happy with it, then I'll start training the nurses who will actually teach the classes. Although I will likely teach, or team teach it the first few times and now and then from then on.
Last Monday late afternoon I got a call on my cell phone from the Stake Clerk. He asked if Dad and I could come meet with President Walker on Tuesday night. With Stake Conference coming up soon I worried that they might want me to speak. I really didn't imagine it would be a new calling since our RS presidency has only been in less than 16 months. Well, it turned out to be both. They asked me to be the new Stake RS pres and to speak in the Saturday night session of Stake Conference on Sept 10, the next day I'll be put in the new calling. I am super surprised by all this...but it's working out. I turned in the names for my new presidency this weekend, and now can start working on my (12 minute) talk. Our Ward presidency had just scheduled our Visiting Teaching conference for Sept 14...so I will go ahead with that since I will not likely get released until the 18th. It is a lot to take in and accomplish in a short time; I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers that I can do all this. And of course this is just for us to know right now...my current presidency doesn't know yet and probably won't until that day.
Dad and I went to the Sheriff's office picnic last night and it was really fun. Then we went to Scott Howard's wedding reception. We missed Bear Chelson's reception...but I'll take something over to his folks very soon.
I have been enjoying all the "first day of school" pictures and look forward to more! Love you all, please keep us posted on all your comings and goings! Love, Mom/Johanna/Nana
