My New Church Calling is...

Two weeks ago on Sunday between Sunday School and Relief Society I was cornered by my 1st and 2nd Counselors, Bro. Sharp and Bro. Lewis. 

Our conversation went something like this:

Bro. Sharp: "So are you musically talented?"

Amanda: "If you are asking if I play the piano, the answer is no."

Bro. Lewis: "No."

Amanda: "If you're asking if I can sing, the answer is yes, I'm already in the choir."

Bro. Sharp: "No, Can you lead the Music?"

I answered, "Yes..."

Bro. Lewis: "Have you ever been in Primary?"

Amanda: "The more appropriate question should be have I ever really been a ward that has primary. And that answer is no."

Bro. Sharp: "Well, someone in the primary noticed you."

Bro. Lewis: "Are you diabetic? Do you want some chocolate?"

Which makes me wonder. Was it the Primary President? I kicked her son out of my Sunday School class 4 weeks ago! I don't know who else it would be...

Fast forward to Saturday evening around 3-3:30. My phone rang. It was Bishop Bushman.

This conversation when something like this:

Bishop: "Hello Sis. Ottley. How are you?"

Amanda: "Good Bishop. How are you?"

Bishop: "Good. So are you available to come see me tonight?"

Amanda: "Well, Bishop, No I'm in San Antonio."

Bishop: "Will you be back tomorrow?"

Amanda "Not until the evening."

Bishop: "So, do you think that it is ok to extend a calling over the phone?"

Amanda: "Well, Bishop, that's for you to say not me."

Bishop: "Well, We would like to release you from your current calling, and call you to be the primary chorister. What do you think about that?"

Amanda: "Really, I had no idea. Sure, I guess that would be fine."

Bishop: "Well, do you mind if we release and call you tomorrow?"

Amanda: "Even if I won't be there? Everyone will think that the calling has made me inactive!"

Bishop: "No, I will let them know that you are in San Antonio at a Single Adult Activity."

Amanda: "Well, If my apartment gets broken into I will know it was because you announced that I wasn't home at church!"

So, I guess I have been called. I haven't heard anything from anyone to say differently. Guess it is time to get cracking on the Primary Presentation!  It sounds like they haven't done much, just my luck!
