New Beginnings

So My boss called me last week and said that he knew he wasn't able to give me hours and he felt bad but he ran across a job that was hiring and he thought of me and asked if I was interested. Well it would be working as a mail courier downtown and the hours would be 9:30 to 4 Monday thru Friday. The only problem with that is I would have to quit my nanny job which I love. Well I talked to Kyle about it and we talked and prayed about it, and finally decided that I would take it. So I had really mixed emotions because I am really gonna miss the kids I nanny for as well as the parents. So I started my new job Monday and they weren't really ready to train me so I shadowed the secretary all day than on Tuesday I had an amazing experience that I have to write about. So they want me to shadow and learn all the routes because my route doesn't start for about a month because it will be a brand new one so I am training with everyone else. So I went with the lady who delivers the mail to the Church Administration Building and we delivered all the mail to the general authorities and the seventies. Wow! We first started out on the floor the prophet and his counselors were on and I didn't see them but President Eyring's secretary let me go in and see his office. It was awesome. As we worked our way around the building of course I met all the secretaries and in one of the offices I walked into, there was Elder Bednar standing there talking to his secretary so I got introduced and got to shake his hand. Than Elder Richard G. Scott was in and I was able to shake his hand and when I shook his hand I felt the warmest feeling run through me, it was incredible. Those were the only two I got to shake hands with but Elder Holland walked by and said hi and so did Elder Uchtdorf, and I saw several other general authorites . It was so awesome and I get to do that route all next week too and deliver all there mail to them. It is soo cool that I have this opportunity, and it makes my testimony stronger. So so far I really like my job. I will have to post a pic of me in my new uniform it is pretty darn sexy. ha ha. Oh and today I found out I have access to all the tunnels underground downtown that the general authorities use to get places and got to walk through some of them .

  1. Well, congrats on your new job! Wow, that sounds like it would be amazing. I've met all of those apostles you mentioned but Elder Scott. President Bednar several times because he was the president of BYU-I ya know. Elder Uchtdorf I see all the time b/c he lives down the street from Cam's parents house. Elder Holland was the speaker at my graduation and I got to shake his hand. Elder Eyring I've seen in person, but not up close. I can't wait to hear about others you get to meet. I've met a few others too...I'm excited for ya!
