*Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam*

Actually, He wants me for a first counselor in the Young Women Presidency. Yay!

I had a pretty cool spiritual experience the other day. I was in the kitchen pondering the fact that I knew a new calling was on the way for me. I was thinking about what it might be and the thought kinda hit me...it's going to be in Young Women. I hadn't even considered that as a possibility, it just came out of nowhere. So I dismissed it, thinking it was just another random thought.

Then the next morning I was doing dishes thinking about my calling and the thought hit me again, unmistakably by the Holy Ghost. You will be in the Young Women presidency. So the phone rang that evening around 5pm and I was asked to go down to the church for a meeting with a member of the bishopric. I got down there and he told me, "We've called you to be the first counselor in the Young Women Presidency." Of course the tears streamed and I said, "I knew it!" He wasn't too surprised, apparently the President had a pretty strong experience when she thought to call me as her 1st counselor. Its just amazing how all the pieces fit together in Heavenly Father's plan.

I love my new calling. The girls are really sweet and there's a lot of work to be done with inactive and less-active girls. I only hope I can keep up with all of them. I also plan on working on my Personal Progress with them and earning my YW Medallion. Wish me luck!

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
