Yesterday right after Sacrament meeting, one of our high councilmen came and nabbed Ben, telling him he needed to talk with him for a few minutes, and then with me. We knew what that meant-- a new calling!
Ben's been the primary pianist for the past year, and was a primary teacher for 2 years before that. 3 years is pretty long to be in the primary!
He has been called to be the 2nd counselor in the Elders quorum, which makes our respective callings nicely symmetrical. It's funny because the R.S. 1st couselor's husband is also the Elders Quorum 1st counselor!
So we'll be juggling meeting schedules, that's for sure. At least our R.S. and E.Q. presidency meetings won't be double-booked, with 2 sets of spouses in each! But I do think it means that we'll pretty much never have Sunday evenings with both of us at home, and that probably 3 weeks out of the month we'll be taking separate cars.
Ben's already talking about buying a small trailer to help with all the moves that are inevitably in his future. :-)
I'm excited for him, though. It will be great for him to be able to interact with adults for a change. And I think he'll do a great job.

Ben will do well. I'm excited to see him take on a new calling not in Primary. I'm sure he will be missed there, but it will be good for him to be with the adults for a change. Good thinking on the trailer possibility.
