New Calling!

As predicted by Krystal, my former next-door neighbor, my new neighbor across the street, and myself, I have been called to serve in young mens in our new ward, for which I am very excited. I am the 1st counselor in the young mens presidency, which is also the teachers quorum advisor and varsity scout leader. I'm pretty excited because we've lived here in Springville for 3 or 4 months and I've not had a calling. Really the timing has been good. We had time to move in and finish everything up with my degree and get settled into my new job. After we moved here, I used to ride the bus back up to campus with our neighbor across the street, Nate, who does web development for BYU. He's in young mens and told me if I was in his ward (which we are oddly not) I would be in young mens. Krystal, on the other hand, who was fairly patient with me finishing school (while working part time and doing family web site development on the side... i.e. free), got fed up one day with all the time I wasn't putting in around home and said, "What's the point. As soon as you're done with school you'll just get called into young mens." To this end I was a little fearful to tell her about the calling. To my surprise she smiled and said "That's great." She's been very supportive so far, but then I've only had the calling for two weeks and have not abandoned her to go play in the woods yet.
