New Ward

Today was our last day in our Twin Falls ward, and next sunday we will start going to Ryan's parents ward. I really liked being in the Twin Falls ward, I was getting to know people, and I really liked my calling, however it does seem like time to leave. Both Ryan and I are hoping that Ethan will like the nursery in the Jerome ward, since he really didn't do great in the Twin Falls ward's nursery. They were strictly organized with their time and activities, which was a good idea, but 15 minutes was a little too long to try and make Ethan sit on a mat for singing time. I was proud of him today because he did sit on the mat for a moment, which is an improvement. My calling was to teach the 8 and 9 year olds. When I first got the calling, I was very worried about how I was to do it. Children take one look at me and think, yeah, I could take her. The kids were difficult the first sunday, climbing everywhere onto cabinets and everything. The next sunday my friend Charity ended up teaching the lesson for me, so I sat in and listened, and she was great with the children. We set up rules and consequences and wrote them down. It helped tremendously.The children still had their rowdy times, but for the most part they were great. I enjoyed going to class each sunday and having them excited to see me. I will miss the children the most in leaving the ward. They all had such cute personalities, and would crack me up with their comments some times.
Ryan was the young men's secretary, but unfortunately he had to spend all of his time in the nursery with Ethan. Ryan is looking forward to going to the Jerome ward, where we can switch off who goes to nursery with Ethan, and hopefully Ethan will like it enough we can leave him there and he won't sob for 45 minutes straight... :) I will miss our ward, but it won't be too bad, since Ryan's parents ward has a lot of nice people, and I know a lot of the people in the ward all ready.
