New Calling...

My latest calling in my ward has been 4th Sunday Relief Society Teacher. I have learned to really LOVE it! So, as I was thinking/preparing my lesson this last week, on Saturday night I said to Andrew on our drive home. "I love how I don't get super stressed all Saturday night and all morning anymore, re running the lesson over and over in my head all during Sacrament and Sunday School, I finally feel comfortable knowing how to plan and how my sisters react to my lessons."
Sunday when Andrew came home from his meetings to pick Kennedy and I up for church he says, Bishop wants to see you 15 min before church. "Weird, Why?" I said, He just shrugged his shoulders.
Here I am thinking he wants to come in and talk to the sisters and take up some of his time with my lesson, which is A OK with me.
So we walk into his office, and he says "So right now your teaching 4th Sunday RS, How is that going for you?" I say "Great!" Well he says"We need some help in the Primary!"- (if you know me that is my cup of tea!) My eyes lit up! I get all excited!! Heck yes I am thinking.... then he goes on.. "Along with your current call, We want to extend the call of
Primary PIANIST!"
I at first thought it was a joke. I don't play the piano...(if you know me you probably know that) I can maybe play right hand when there is no sharps or flats.. maybe. The harp comes way easier to me than the paino...
So ha, I have lots and lots of learning to do!! First I need a book.. then figure out where and how I can learn to play the piano..
Its a good thing Andrew has a key to the church, I have a feeling we will be there A LOT!
Its also good thing there is only about 5 kids in our primary, so hopefully they wont care if I am a super beginner at the piano :)
I have always wanted to be in primary.. so I guess I will take what I can get!P.S That picture scares me... gulp!

Don't let Lukas see this...he'll be super jealous. That is the calling he's wanted his entire life.

Wow! Congrats, and YIKES!! I would die, but that's because I don't play the piano, or anything else for that matter, but you will find a way and be awesome like you are at everything else. :) Have fun learning!!

Sophie! That is crazy. If all else fails you could just start singing the song with the kids... If there's one thing I know about you it's that your voice is beautiful. I loooved sitting next to you in choir sophomore year and listening to you sing! Good times.
