New Calling

Yesterday I was called as the Young Women's president of our ward.  The call was issued to me our very first week in our new ward.  I was a little surprised that is was so soon.  I have actually kinda known that I would be in YW for a month or so.  Kinda felt it would be president, but then I thought that would be crazy, how do you pick councillors in a ward when you don't know anyone.  I was sure I was feeling that wrong and it would just be somewhere in the YW's program.  The bishop actually apologized to me when he issued the call.  Said he knew is was quick but they had been waiting for me and felt they needed to do it right away.  Just one more reason that you know this calling is from the Lord.  I have only served in YW for a few months back when the girls where very little.  They were 1 and 4.  I am a little nervous.  There is so much to do in YW, and so much always going on.  I have 5 girls,  Two are my own and one more coming in in October.  When she comes in I will have 2 Laurels, 2 Mia Maids, and 2 Beehives.  Keeps it all nice and even:)  They are a really fun, great group of girls.  I have been studying the manual and looking for lots of activity ideas.  I am nervous about making sure Blake does not feel like I am neglecting him.  I will have to make sure to spend extra one on one time with him. There is lots to plan and learn and do.  It was encouraging that when Leah and Cora found out they were both really excited.  Better that then them groaning.  I will try my best, work hard, and study lots.  I feel I have chosen good councillors.  Now I just really hope that one of them likes to camp.:)
