In the circles I move in, you always hear these kinds of stories:

Once a bishop; now a primary teacher.

Once a member of the high council; now a councillor in the ward young men's organization.

Once a Relief Society President; now called as a Den Leader.

But until this week, I had never really seen this in real life.

Ahem:

Once an Elder's Quorum President; now a Nursery Aide.



There are apparently enough kids in our nursery to warrant two classes-- the one I'll be aiding is completely manned by. . . well, men.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also a little apprehensive. Litebrite will be in there, so I'll have someone to comfort me, at least. . .

We'll see how this goes. My impression is that there hasn't been much structure to the kids' nursery for a while. . .

Um, it's a kid's nursery. Not much structure isn't necessarily a bad thing.



That said, congratulations on your new call.

These are MORMON kids, El Jay. If we don't hammer structure and conformity into them now, they'll forget their place.

And then what will I eat?

Oh, my mistake. Sorry.

I've worked in the nursery before. With three kids, it's bound to happen, every now and then. I kind of have an idea how I want things to go, and how they should go; I'm just a little nervous is all.

And honestly, I'm not nervous about the children. I'm nervous about working with other guys. I barely know the other two men who will be in the nursery with me; and maybe that's a good thing.

We'll see.
