Post updates out of order

If you've been getting updates that I've been posting posts out of order it's because I've been trying to fill in the blanks. I'm trying to make sure that I have birthdays and important things filled in so that I can get my blog printed out into books.

New Calling

I got a new calling in church on Sunday. I still play the piano in Relief Society but now I also get to arrange the musical numbers for Sacrament meeting. I was called as the ward music chairman. I had this calling before when I was the ward organist, about eleven years ago. We haven't been having musical numbers in sacrament meeting lately, except for the choir. I'm hoping to change that.
