called to Young Women

For most of my adult life, my service in the church has been with Primary (the small children) and Relief Society (the women) with a short time in Young Women (teenagers) about 18 years ago.  I did have the opportunity to teach Seminary (daily morning religious class for teenagers) for a couple of years which was a lot of fun.  It was a lot of work too but impossible when I had a baby.  So I stopped.

Then last year, I was excited to be called to serve in the Young Women's again.  I had hoped to be able to serve with my girls, but Sarah had already left home. Thankfully, I got to spend more time with Rachel and Bekah (not sure they appreciated that much).  But, sadly, I only served 6 months (great experience!) because the Lord moved us to CA.  Well, I guess the Lord gave me  6 months to settle my household, cause now He has put me back in the service of the Young Women as their president.   I had had am impression that this might happen, so I wasn't totally surprised.  But I must say that I'm thrilled and humbled.  Working with the youth is such a great experience!  So far Rachel and Bekah are being good sports about it.  Hopefully, we can use this time together to build our relationships even more.  I love having opportunities to share my testimony with them.

There's a lot of work to do.  Thankfully, I worked along side some wonderful women in NC who taught me by their examples how to lead.  I hope I can be like them.
