Oh I love Sundays! Ben has the whole day to spend with Chase and me, we get to go to church and feel the spirit and interact with the other wonderful members of our branch. I love having another adult around all day to talk to! (Chase is adorable, but talking to a 5 month old all day leaves me craving adult conversation!) Today at church Ben and I both got new callings. I got called into the Primary Presidency and Ben got called to be a ward clerk.
Our branch is under the direction of the San Juan Puerto Rico Mission. The mission president came to the island today to set apart the new branch presidency. We met at the church a few hours after church and met the mission president. He then went on to set apart the new presidency. After they were set apart, he set apart Ben. The blessing was amazing. This man had never met Ben before and didn't know anything about our situation here, but the blessing he gave Ben was so specific to his needs and I think everyone in the room felt the spirit strongly. It was a great day.
Then I tried, again, to make peach cobbler. Conclusion: Peach cobbler will never be good with the canned peaches here. The peach cobbler my dad makes with my mom's home canned peaches is amazing. This cobbler just didn't measure up. Don't worry, we ate it anyway.
Sundays are awesome. I love them too. How many kids are in your primary? Isn't it amazing when you get a blessing so specific to you, even when that person doesn't know you? I think it's one of the most amazing experiences. And of course, Chase is a cutie! He's getting so big!
