Callings and other sappy Church Stuff

So, I know I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog, and since I don’t want the era of blogs to die, I’ll do it. But it’ll be slow, and I’m going to do it backwards because it’s way easier to remember what happened yesterday. I’ll continue to go through my photos and then either make up cool stories about it or tell you what actually happened.

So, first thing is first. Dylan and I just moved (again) to a different place in Florida. We just moved to this little beach town called Sunny Isles. It’s heaven. It’s closer to Dylan’s school, literally 5 minutes from the beach walking, and we live near all our friends. It’s so fun, and we love it. I’ll write more on that later. But, with a move came a new ward. I was just recently the Young Women’s President in our last ward, and let’s face it, “high profile” callings are a lot of work. So, I was kind of hoping to lay low and maybe not even get a calling in the new ward for a little bit, or at least get something awesome like ward greeter. Dylan and I were in our new ward for a total of 3 days, and then I got called to be in Young Womens and Dylan in Young Mens. So, here we are again. It’s actually been awesome with Dylan working with the youth too because now we do all the activities and stuff together. It makes it so much more fun.

Yesterday we were lucky enough to go to the temple with the cutest kids ever. I really cannot say enough about the kids in this ward. A lot of them are converts or don’t have active parents, and they are solid. They come to church on their own, ask amazing questions about the church, and are just awesome. I sometimes wonder why I’m the leader because they are way better examples to me than I am to them. Heavenly Father is funny sometimes.

Though it’s challenging and time consuming and crazy at times, I’m so so so grateful to be working with the girls right now (and Dylan the boys). It has been one of the sweetest blessings and I am constantly reminded of how exciting the gospel is and how much happiness it can bring us.

Ok, enough churchy testimony stuff, here’s some pictures.
