New Ward, New Calling

The Bishop of our brand new ward called me and Dave into his office on Sunday morning. I knew we would be getting callings and I figured it would be as ward missionaries again, perhaps the ward mission leader. Boy was I wrong.

The Bishop looked in my direction and asked me to serve as the Young Women President of our new ward.

Yikes!

I am definitely excited, but yikes. There will be much to do to get everything organized and established. And right now there are only 3 active girls. Yes, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Hopefully by Sunday I'll have two counselors and a secretary and then I'll be able to breathe.

This new adventure is sure to bring many stories so stay tuned!

Sounds like fun--you'll do great at getting more than 3 to come to church and activities!

You'll be great. I served as YW Pres. when we lived in Kentucky and LOVED it. I really love the teenage girls but haven't served in YW for 15 years...I've been ward and stake RS Pres for 12 of those 15. I'll bet they don't call an old lady like me to YW!!!
