Bring It On!

As if life hasn't been stressful enough and eventful enough the last few months maybe a new calling and a car accident will. First of all the Sunday before Christmas the Bishop came over. I knew it was for me because Brendon just got called to the Young Mens. Originally last year when I was called as a primary teacher I had the feeling it was because I needed to see how primary was run because I would be in the presidency soon. Then the last week or so that Matthew was in the hospital I kept getting the feeling that I was going to be called as Primary President. I kept telling Heavenly Father that I couldn't handle that, but the feeling kept coming. When the bishop came he asked me if I knew why he was there. I told him I was getting a calling in the primary, in the presidency, Brendon piped in with Primary President. The Bishop confirmed this and I felt the spirit again reveal to me that this was what the Lord wanted regardless of how inadequate I felt or how stressed I was. The Bishop said that when they prayed about my name they felt the spirit so strongly. I am grateful for the spirit and that it prepared me for the news of this calling. Now I just hope it is with me as I do it. I am very nervous but I know I am not alone. About the car accident, I was at my sister-in-law's baby shower when I get a call from Brendon saying that his car was being towed away. Instantly I was like what more can go wrong. Brendon rearended the car infront of him when it stopped abruptly at a yellow light. Luckily everyone was fine. The girls were a little shaken up because the air bags deployed and Sawyer got a minor scrape on her arm and face from the seatbelt. The car was another story. His car is so cheap that it just munched it. The other car was a big American car and it just had a small dent and scratches on the bumper. One blessing from this is that the car got totaled and so now we have money to buy a bigger car. Something that we were wanting since Matthew was born. We just couldn't afford it. This way we will have a good chunk to help out. The bad thing is Brendon's car was the one that we were wanting to keep because it is newer and gets better gas mileage. The Lord works in mysterious ways. We needed a bigger car and with Brendon getting in the accident it opened up a way for that to happen. I just wish it wasn't his fault. Oh well, I know that we will be blessed and everything will work out for the best as long as we have faith and trust in the Lord.

Sawyer's poor little arm. It looks pretty good compared to what it did the day of the accident.On the day of the accident it was a big red circle everyday it went down a bit until it was just a few scratches 2-3 days later.

Brendon's poor baby.

We think it got totaled because the air bags deployed.

It looks worse than it was. It wasn't a straight on rearending. He slammed on his brakes and turned but everything locked up and he didn't stop in time, obviously.

Say goodbye!
