New things

I'm going to try REALLY hard to blog at least once a week. For some reason I always have a hard time thinking of something exciting or different- but we did get new callings today! I was almost certain that we were going to be called to the nursery (since there are three in our ward) (and our sacrament meeting sounds like a cd track of jungle noises performed by small children) but we were called to the next closest thing: primary! I am actually pretty excited. We are teaching the CTR 5B class, so we have 4 girls and 4 boys that are 5 years old. I think that we will have a fun time.

In other news, school is still going well. For those of you that are interested in the happenings of our cadaver, we have opened him from the lower abdomen to the chin. We are looking at all of the neck muscles and the thyroid area right now. OH, and it was so cool! He has a pacemaker, so while I was cutting the skin off I suddenly hit metal- at first it looked like a large vein, but I had just hit the rounded edge. It's crazy what kind of things we have to keep ourselves alive. Very cool!

Vegas has treated us well so far. The weather has been PERFECT. It has been a steady 88 degrees with a slight breeze for the past couple of weeks, so we are still dreading the REAL Vegas summer.

Fun! I am in primary too. Domenic is in the CTR5 class, though our primary is no where near the size of yours: 3 nursery's!! That is insane!

5 year kids are cute and funny - I think you'll have lots of fun teaching. Primary is the place to be. Congrats! Kind of scary to cut into metal when you don't expect it. I like the cadaver stories. Enjoy that mild temp and sunshine, and swimming pool.

Hey!! I'm so glad they put you in primary. That's what I would have done if you had moved into my ward...actually I might have made you the pianist...do they know you play?? Anyway, I'm glad you have a calling you'll love and I'm jealous of your apartment. And we miss you in dispatch. And that's all for now.

You guys will be THE BEST primary teachers ever. I'm sure you'll have a blast!

I am still in awe with you and Kent and the enjoyment of cadaver carving. Ewness.
