New Calling

When I decided to move back home, I was talking to my friend and her mom about it, and my friend asked, "How long do you think it will be until you get a calling?" I told her that I knew it would be pretty fast, because the ward isn't extremely large, and there were a lot of positions open. Then her mom said to me, "Just don't tell the Bishop you're moving home!" :) For those of you who don't know, my dad is the bishop, so obviously he would know I was moving home, and obviously she was joking! :)

So, I got a call on Saturday to meet with the first counselor in the bishopric on Sunday morning before church. Because of the fact that my dad was the first counselor when I was in Young Women's, I knew that he is positioned over the Young Women, and I hoped that my calling would be there. I LOVE the primary, and would happily work in the primary again, (I was in the nursery for about a year, and then the primary chorister for about two and a half years and I loved every minute of it!) but I wouldn't mind a change.

Bada-Boom. Bada-Bing. I am now the first counselor in the Young Women Presidency. I knew that the previous first counselor was getting married, but I didn't think that they would call me to that position, because my little sister Jami is the second counselor, and I didn't think they would want sisters in there. I was thinking more along the lines of Personal Progress Leader. My dad and the YW President told me that they were extremely confident with having me and Jami as the counselors, and that they knew we'd be good for the girls. I love the YW's president, it is Kathy Andreason, for those who may know her. She's always been a great example to me, she's very fun-loving and friendly, and I am very excited to work with her!!!
I am most excited to work with the girls! The ones who are Laurel's were beehives when I was a Laurel, and most of the beehives were girls that I worked with in the primary, and have recently turned 12. I already know most, if not all of the girls, and I know how wonderful they all are, and I hope that I can be a good leader to them, and also a good friend. I know that I am still really good friends with a lot of my former leaders, and I know that they would still do anything for me. That is how I want to be as well.
One more bonus....girl's camp is one of the funnest places on earth. I have NEVER had a bad girl's camp experience!!
Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!
