What I did at my new job

Well as all of you know I started a new job, last week. So far I am really enjoying my new position. I have done a lot of reading, more than usual. My primary responsibilities are to help families. I do parenting classes and monitor visitations for children in foster care. Then off course the paper work, No government agency would be worth its salt if they didn’t have loads of paper work.

I spend most mornings at the park with parents and children working on reunification. Then I monitor more visits at the office. then the paper work and reading, I enjoy the children and for the most part the parents. Some are in very difficult life styles. I see such potential in the parents and I also see discouragement in their eyes from failure of faith in themselves. Most have chosen drugs as an escape and the children have suffered along with them for their choices.

I am thankful for the Gospel in our lives and especially the atonement.

What I like most? The kids and their forgiving hearts.
What I like least? The smoking, Co-workers and Parents.

Next week Bethanie starts school! She is very excited to make friends and have something to do.
