A New Calling

So this week has been a bit of a shock, in a good way though. We had our baptism on wednesday, and it was a wonderful experience. I was able to do a musical number for the baptism, and I think it went really well. The man was confirmed on Sunday, and I also was able to participate in that. What a wonderful experience it was. The man we baptized is such a great man. Right after being confirmed, he came up to us and asked us if he could have a calling, and this is after being a member for less than an hour. I know he will go on to do great things.

The reason I said this week was a shock however, is because of what happened last night. Last night the phone rang, and it was the mission home's number. We assumed it was just President Martin making Zone leader calls. Elder Walker answered the phone, and President Martin asked for me. I got on the phone with him, and he said "Elder Hunsaker the purpose of my call is to call you to be the new Assistant to the President." I was so shocked (That was the last thing I could possibly imagine him calling me for) that all I could say was "Okay." He laughed and seemed to realize how shocked I was, which cause him to reply "You may be surprised, but I'm not. I received very strong promptings about this." He then explained to me what my new duties would be and such. So there you have it, I'm the new AP. I was blown away, because I haven't even been on my mission 18 months yet. I thought that was pretty much a requirement to be an AP... apparently not. I'm kind of stressed, because from now on I'm going to be SUPER busy. I mean, I was already busy before, but that's nothing compared to what's coming. The Assistants usually are up until two in the morning and wake up at 6:30. I don't know how I'm going to survive that, but I'm sure I'll be okay. This means I'll be moving to Valencia next week. I don't know my new address yet, but I'll be sure to send it next week. Wish me luck! Love you all!
