It was time for Eli & I to renew our temple recommends, so we went tonight for our Bishopric interview. When I first sat down with Brother Stoutsenberger, the counselor, he said "We'll be able to accomplish two things tonight." He then went on to tell me they were going to extend a release to me for my calling as Cub Master in the Cub Scouts.
When I first heard those words I wanted to cry...I have (or should I say had) the best calling in the ward! I was the official party planner for the Cub Scouts! Who else gets to plan a meeting where you get to dress up & act silly to recognize the accomplishments of the youth you've been working with...no one! I have been working with the Cub Scouts since March of 2000 & have been a Cub Master for almost 9 years. I am really going to miss working with the boys. It is so now fun to watch the 12-14 year old boys as they are passing Sacrament on Sunday and remember when they were just 8 and starting out in Cubs and see how much they have matured...I am truly going to miss this calling!
Then when Dennis (Brother Stoutsenberger) told me what my new calling was going to be I couldn't control my laughter! I'm not sure what the official title of the calling is, but I get to be in charge of calling & reminding the people who signed up to come clean the church house on either Monday evening or Saturday mornings. Then I get to go & make sure they show up.
I felt so bad for laughing. I have had a feeling that it was about time to be released, but I in no way saw this coming! I guess I should be thankful that it's not teaching Sunday School!
