Changes

Changes can be so hard somtimes. We went to our new ward today in the new building. The building is also new, but is very small and narrow. Our new ward has over 500 people in it so it is easy to get lost. The halls are very narrow and always packed with people. They sustained the YW and YM presidencies and their counselors today. Still waiting on Primary and RS. I know who the primary president is and she will be great. She gets a primary of 150 children (not including a super large nursery). It was weird not to have anything to do or run around all day. I actually had to go to RS, which you all know I just adore (not!). It was squishy with lots of people and so many babies that you could not hear very well. I am sure I will get used to it in time. It made me sad for the old ward today. A little while ago, I recieved a call from a friend in the old ward. She told me her kids missed seeing me in primary today. That made me feel better. It also made me sad that I won't get to see those kids much. Change is hard, but I know it will be okay. Every time we have made a change, it has turned out to be good. This is our fifth ward change, so at least I can say I know a few people in four different wards. The theme for the day in the testimonies shared was we know Heavenly Father is aware of each and every one of us. He knows our name, where we are, and what we need. He loves us and will take care of us if we will just listen, obey, and be patient. I know that He is aware of me and that will make this change easier to bear.

This is the picture of Aaron after he was indcuted into the National Junior Honor Society at school. He is not really sure why he should join, but it looks good on you resume, right?! Anyway, he is a member and we are proud of him!

Cameron also had a big month because he was fitted with braces! He choose green, which you can't really see in the picture because of all the silver. He was nervous, but has been taking care of them very well so far. After two weeks, he did break a brace while eating a granola bar that had almonds in it. We went back to the ortho and after 30 minutes, said brace was back in place again. Here's hoping that thousands of dollars will make for beautiful teeth and fix the spot where he has a missing tooth!
