Change

Isn't life about change? I have been thinking about change for quite awhile with all the changes that have been going on this past year. One change happened yesterday. After 3 1/2 years in my callings as Visiting Teaching supervisor/ district leader (whatever the real title is...the one in charge of the smaller group), and as a member of the enrichment / RS meeting committee, I was released and given a new calling. Actually, I may still keep my RS meeting committee member calling... but farewell to the VT supervisor (hallelujah!).

I was called to be the YW Personal Progress leader. I am excited and overwhelmed at the same time. I think it will be a great calling, one that will give me a taste of young women's without being in the presidency, etc. It will stretch me in ways I have never stretched since I haven't been in YW since I was a young woman myself. We have 50 girls in our young womens so it will be a huge task and I will have many responsibilities. There are 3 advisors per class besides the presidency! I will be going to activities and classes, etc. etc. However, I can go to RS if I want to, when I want since I'm not tied down to a certain age group. I think that won't happen much unless there is a particular lesson I want to go to. Sweet, eh?!

Anyhow, girls camp is in 3 weeks and I am going to go for one or two evenings. I'm pretty excited for this change! The funny thing was I knew a new calling was coming soon- I could feel it and it was time anyway. When I was called in to see the bishopbric counselor, I knew it was going to be a Primary calling because I have been subbing a lot lately and having a bad attitude about primary (I think I don't want to be in primary because I really crave the free time from kids and interaction with the women. I also love the lessons and being uplifted. I know that primary is a special place as well, but just didn't want it at this time of my life right now.) I admit I was relieved that I wasn't put in the nursery or something.
