New Adventures for the Haight Family

Reed and I both have new adventures starting. First, Reed was called this morning to be an early-morning seminary teacher for our stake. It was a little surprising, but I think Reed is excited because he has always wanted to teach seminary. The timing is a little interesting, but then again, it always is with callings, isn't it? He is teaching his first class in about 9 hours, and doesn't have any information other than the time, what building, and that it is Doctrine and Covenants. This will be a fun few weeks!

My adventure isn't as big, but I am excited about it. I really wanted to find another job that I could work from home, but when I thought about what I loved to do, I really just wanted to tutor, because I loved it so much when I did it at BYU-Idaho. So a couple weeks ago I put some ads on Craigslist just to see if anyone was interested. Luckily, I got a hit in only four days. I had my first tutoring session last Thursday, and I am so excited to be doing it again. I am tutoring a man from India who has lived here about 10 years, and his English is great, but he wants to move up at work to a manager position, so he wants to polish he grammar and writing skills. Which is awesome because grammar is my favorite. So glad I kept those books from college.

So life here is getting busier, but we are super happy about it!
