A new calling!!

There are usually clues, when there is change in the wind. I had to teach the presidency message in Relief society June 1st. But I just couldn't get into preparing the lesson. I knew the topic, and did my research, but I felt like I was somehow out of place. So the night before I'm to give my lesson, I get a call to meet with the bishop 20 minutes before church (and my lesson). I was so nervous. I knew they were looking for a new cub scout committee chair!! Awww.

So when I met with the bishop, he told me that the whole R.S. pres. was being released. I can't explain how extatic I felt. YES!! It was like lifting a heavy bolder off of my back. Not that I didn't enjoy it. I love enrichment, and will always support it. It was just time!! Yeah!

Then he asked me to be the new Y.W. secretary. I was so relieved. I can do that. Take rolls, show up to activities. Get to know all of the Young Women, so I know who my boys are really talking about (or too).

So far so good. We made pajama bottoms last week, and went to play out at Lake Mead on boats today, and I am very quickly learning the girls names. This is more fun than work.

Of course we do have the best youth in the world right here in our ward!!

And I, the mother of 5 boys, finally get to go do girly things. What's better than that.

Hopefully your new calling gives you a little extra time for you as well.
