Well, Merrill and I have been in our ward for ten months, and we got our first calling last week. We are teaching the Sunbeams! We taught for the first time yesterday. The class is split into 2 classes. There are usually 4-5 kids, but yesterday there where only 2, but for the first day for us it worked out great that way. We had fun, but we can already tell that they are gonna be a handful. During sharing time they had to draw a picture of the temple, and one of the little boys said "I can't draw that... I don't even know how to draw shapes." It was the funniest thing. Overall the day in primary was long, but good. I had a hard time singing all the songs and talking to the kids, my mouth got sore cause I had to have my wisdom teeth out a few days before. Luckily I never had them on the bottom, so they only had to worry about the tops, which are the easy ones.
And to keep you all updated since I haven't really done that. Merrill is now going to school full time to finish faster. He had to quit his job with springville city, and he now works for the tree crew on BYU campus. He's worked with them for about 2 weeks now, and has enjoyed it. He is getting in the experience that he needs for the future. And he started his full time summer classes last week, and its kept him pretty busy. But at least he will finish school in a little over a year instead of 3 years. Which means, we will be leaving Utah sooner than we had planned before. Hopefully moving to the Northwest. Thats the plan for now, we will see what happens as time goes by.
