We Want YOU!

So Chris got his test scores back from the border patrol today. To possibly be called in for an oral interview you needed to pass the written test. To pass the written test you needed to score at least a 70. Chris scored a 93 so we are really happy there. Now we have to wait up to 4 weeks for them to contact us with information on if he has been selected for an oral interview. We are praying that this works out for us because this is what we have been waiting for. We are ready for change. I will be update once we get to the next step.

Chris' New Look

So today was the big cutting day. First Chris got his hair wet so that I could put it in a pony tail and then braid it. We decided that we were going to donate his hair to Locks of Love.

So here is how long it hair started out as

Cutting snip, snip, snip

Even though he doesn't look like it in the last photo he is excited for his new calling and he doesn't mind the hair cut. The kids find it a little strange but they are getting used to it.

Cutting News

So for about 4 weeks we have been wondering what kind of calling Chris and I were going to get. Then three Sundays ago he was called in by the branch president and they talked for a while and he got to know Chris. Then two Sundays ago Chris was again talked to and was asked how attached to his hair he was. He responded with saying that if he had a calling that required he cut it he would do it.

Since then I have recieved my calling as Enrichment Leader in the RS. I am very excited for this calling and I can't wait to serve the sisters in my branch.

We have been wonding what kind of calling he could be called for. Well they don't have an elders quorum 2nd councilor, so we thought that would be a good calling for him. Then we started to think of all the callings that require him to cut his hair. Well we could only think of things that were at the stake level. Well when I recieved my calling last Sunday we were told that Chris needed to be here this Sunday. Well this Sunday was Branch Conference for us and so the 2nd councilor in the Stake Presidency was going to be here. Well of course now we were really anxious to find out his calling because we knew it had to be something that had to be presented by the Stake Presidency since we were told we had to be here this Sunday.

Well today during second hour Chris was called away and so I anxiously sat waiting for them to call me in to approve in his calling or for him to come back and tell me what calling they had given him. He came back to class and said to me he didn't expect this calling but wouldn't tell me what it was. He made me wait until we met with the 2nd Councilor in the Stake Presidency before I found out. Well once we were all together I found out that my husband was going to have to cut his hair because he was being called as the 2nd councilor in the Branch Presidency.

So I will be posting pictures of his transformation as it happens.

Calling all RS Sisters

So today I got my calling and I am now the RS Enrichment Activity Leader. I am very excited to have this calling because I love doing enrichment activities with the sisters and I love doing crafts so this I believe is a great calling for me and I can't wait to serve the lovely ladies in my branch.

Chris has not recieved his calling yet but he will be getting it next Sunday at Branch Conference when the Stake President is there. This has caused us to wonder what kind of calling he is getting. I will be happy to update when we find out.
