Life in Robinson

I am a slacker at picture taking! I'll post some pictures of our new rental house whenever I remember where I placed the cord. Our branch is pretty small. We received new callings today at church. They have been meeting for year at a 2 hour church and decided since we moved in they could switch to a 3 hour. I didn't know that in a 2 hour church the R.S. President is also the YW president and the Primary president. So now that we are going to a 3 hour block they had lots of callings for us. Matt was asked to be the Gospel Doctrine teacher and I was called as Primary President! And not only am I the president, I get to lead singing time and teach the whole junior primary! It will be an adventure to say the least! I might need to call a few friends from the Morris Ward who I think might have experience with this...hehe...:-)

The schools are pretty much pathetic here which leads us to believe we will be putting them in a private school next school year. They seem to watch movies or "educational shows" such as Magic School Bus constantly, like more than once a day. And their reading is not promoted as much as what my kids are used to. I don't want them to get behind from what they have been doing.

We overall are happy, though. Our home is small, but we are working with it. This will be an interesting stay in Robinson. I wonder how long we will be here...? Our record of stability isn't the greatest, but it wasn't our choice completely the past few moves we made! Perhaps I can blog about normal life things again instead of trials and complications in life. That would be great! :-)

Hey, too bad about the 2 hour meeting thing! :) You will be an awesome Primary President/Music Leader/Primary Teacher! I hope you find lots of great friends for you and your kids! Keep us posted!

What a calling!!! Wow. That'll keep you busy. Lessons and Music to prepare for.....Wow.

Are there private schools in the area? There are a few areas around here that if we ended up living there, I would probably homeschool.

Glad you are getting settled. That is crazy about your new branch! I'm glad they put you right to work! :) Sorry to hear about the kids' schools, though. That's a bummer.

Wow!!! Sounds like you will be pretty busy! Are there many kids in the ward? And how in the world could someone be RS, YW, and Primary President!!!! Did they all meet together? It sounds like you guys are sure needed there though - that is great!

Crazy about the schools though - I can't believe that is even allowed! Small area or no, they should still have standard teaching - I hope you can get everything figured out!
