Double Duty -- Darn it!

5/28 (Wed)

Got an emergency phone call from Inga last night and she is in need of help today.  I feel really bad since I could only help from 9-10am for I have a babysitting commitment with the Richards. They are to move to a new house and could use some help with their three boys.  Mia is the first one I called and she was able to go and so as Kyle.   I wrote an email to the RS about Inga's situation and I kind of regret doing it since the RS president went to Inga and gave her a lecture on  how the RS compassionate system works.  She told Inga to call her visiting teachers, Kyle and Cindy first when she needs something... and didn't she already knew that Cindy is not up for doing much with one arm and Kyle's cancer has been back while on remission?

To me this is brutal!   Oh man!  If I am not in the RS, then I wouldn't even said a word of helping others... but she is the RS president and she asked for the sisters who need ministering...

I just want Inga to feel comfortable with other sisters helping since I am about to go back to HK and I want to make sure that she is being taking care of while I am gone.  I am sure things will turn out fine in the end but I just want to make sure the RS are lining up people for her so that Kyle (Inga's visiting teacher) will not have to do much.  Kyle's cancer come back also and she will need chemo and radiation after the summer.  Oh boy!  Two of my favorite ladies in the ward are going through the same thing!  I know they can support each other at times but in my opinion it's not the best combination.  I did asked if the visiting teaching route should be switched but a few ladies at scripture study said it's not needed.  It's almost cultural shock to me.

Of course,  I also forgot that I need to help with Jady's school next Wed between 9-12... and Inga asked if I can help the same day.  I prefer helping with Inga since she needed the support and I can always asked for a switch of schedule with Jady's room parents.
