Well, my wife set-up a "calling contest" on her blog yesterday and linked to my blog stating that I would have one too. So here it is:
What calling will I get in our new ward?
Here's the deal: I offer no prizes (I'm into that "success is its own reward" idea) but I do offer inside info.....
The ward has just over 400 members of record. Over 200 single sisters and just about 80 priesthood-holding brethren (about ten of them are over 75 years old.) I told the bishop that I was coming off a stint as the ward choir director - but that was after my wife had explained her experience in music and told him she enjoyed being the choir director. I also told him of my experience teaching in Elders' quorum and in Sunday School (Family History.) He also mentioned that the ward clerk/ward organist/Elders' quorum & High Priest group teacher needed to be released from one of those callings.
There it is. Let the comments begin!

I posted this to your wife's blog already, but I think you both will be called to the nursery.
Ward Clerk.
I'll say EQ/HP teacher. You'll be so sick of teaching - Saturday will be your only day of escape! That's not a vengeful wish, just an observation if that is the calling you get.
I don't know why, but I sort of think it will be something like ward librarian or ward historian for both of you, at least for now.
I've never been one to second guess the Lord -- I just know it will be a wonderful and growing experience for you. I'm grateful you have both talked with the Bishop!
Love you big, big manys,
MOM
