So last week I went into the school, I volunteer on Thursdays, and when I got to the office I was ambushed by the principle. The music teacher had a stroke and for some reason there is a shortage of music subs in the school district so they asked if I was interested in long term subbing for him. So I decided to do it. I start on Monday and I will be teaching full time, all the grades. I will be doing general music, and helping with the choir. I will teach full time until the end of the school year, Rhys is going to kick it with his little friends, during the day. So anyway it's going to be crazy but fun, hopefully. Anywho, wish me luck., hopefully I will survive.

Member Missionaries

The mission president here has told all the missionaries that all visits with investigators need to have a member of the ward with them. Since we are the only people in Hempstead, we get called about 2 times a week to accompany the missionaries. They either ask for Mike and I separately or to get a babysitter when we both 'need' to go-they tell us Oliver needs to stay home, he's too distracting (Yea right-I'm getting a babysitter). They also informed us that it is now okay for women to ride alone with them if they are going to a lesson-which Mike responded, "I don't think so." Now I understand that members giving support to new investigators helps, but really. The missionaries we currently have get really mad if we aren't able to go (they somehow forget that we have school and our family to spend time with). It's really weird and kind of ridiculous.

Is it like this anywhere else?
