I got a new Calling

Okay I have had a permanent smile on my face since Friday night. It will probably change after my first Meeting tomorrow. So after girls camp in July I was released from our Ward Young Women's Presidency. Which was really hard. I had truly enjoyed that calling and felt I just fit very well there. It was a tearful couple of weeks as I missed the girls and the whole young women's program. It didn't help that the replacement's where some of my closest friends. Then I was called into the Primary which isn't too bad. They gave me small class and said they couldn't believe that they actually got me and that the class I would be getting next year was a big one that needed a good teacher. I did a little research to see who was coming in next year. So I had a bit of a negative attitude about it. But come to find out the group coming in was all my little friends that I babysit alot. So that wasn't going to be a challenging group for me at all. Anyway I had a pretty bad attitude about this calling and I felt that I was struggling. I had no idea of how to deal with it. I basically have been counting down the Sundays until the next year. Hoping and praying that they would not move me up with the class.

So I get a call from a High Council members on Friday wanting to meet with Joel and I. I was on the road to pick up my niece so I would not be able to come in with Joel. So I said I could see him when I got into town at 9:00 pm that night. I was thinking it was for Joel getting called to be the new Elders Quorum President (thank goodness that didn't happen). So I get to are little meeting and he ask me how my calling is going. I said honestly I have been a little negative about it and explained why. He responded with would you like a new calling? I was like yes with complete enthusiasm. When I realized what I had just said, I was like did you forget who you are talking to a (Stake Member). So I was like well what is it? He then told me that I was being called to be the Stake Young Women's Secretary. I couldn't believe it I was almost jumping out of my seat as I was so excited to be back in Young Women's. Also to work with some really neat women in our stake. I then responded with does it matter that I probably will be moving away in less then a year? He said they still want you. I was on cloud nine. Still am. I did think well I guess this official means I'm old. Because in the back of my mind I just associate Stake Callings with old people. But at this point I will take being Old, as I am so excited, let the fun begin.
