I will never forget the Sunday in college when I recieved the call to be RS president. My mom was with me (it was first Sunday back for the year and she drove out with me) and when bishop said he wanted to meet with me my mom said "I bet you will be called as the RS president." We bet a dove bar. When I got back from meeting with Bishop Weyland I told my mom she was right and I owed her a Dove ice cream bar.
The activities chairmen kept me busy because Bishop Weyland was really into having ward activities. We held them on a weekly basis. Kilifi and I worked well together and had a great committee to help us with the planning/carrying out of the activities.
The last 1 1/2 I was in primary and absolutely loved it. I grew close to the others who I served with and got to be good friends with them. I loved the kids. I would look forward to church every week...even though it could be stressful some weeks (if teachers didn't show up). There is just something special about serving these special spirits! They would teach me new things every week.
Last Sunday I was released from Primary and put into Young Womens. I always thought I would be excited to serve in Young Womens but this transition has been harder on me than I imagined. I find myself thinking about all the things in primary that I will no longer be a part of and feeling sad. I think about not working with my friend Julia anymore and that makes me sad too. I have to remind myself how much fun I will have with the young women once I get to know them. I will grow to love them just like I did the primary kids. I am also lucky to be working with a great young womans president and I look forward to getting to know her better and building that relationship.
