Yesterday we were visited by a counselor in the bishopric and asked if we would serve as the Welcome Wagon greeters. Actually, he called us to be the ward historians. They way he described the job was that we are assigned to visit all the new members of the ward, take their pictures and write up an article spotlighting them for the ward newsletter which we will give to the ward newsletter editor. Then we are to get with the secretaries of each organization and get their historical reports on a regular basis (I'm not sure how often that is-monthly? quarterly?) At the end of the year, we will use all of the information we have gathered to write a historical report. In the meantime, we will keep a ward blog recording all of the activities and pertinent information and update it regularly.
Steve is excited about this calling because he thinks it is right up MY alley.
Today at church, they sustained us and mentioned that it is interesting it is the first time new ward members have been called as ward historians. Oh, well. We like firsts.
Then they asked us to say the prayers in Sunday school. Right after Sunday school, they asked us to talk in church in a couple of weeks and gave Steve a home teaching assignment that can be done on Sundays because we are only here on weekends. In Relief Society they needed a last minute fill-in for the chorister so I did that.
We are definitely "on the radar now." I guess this is home now.
