Oh Boy

Every time you move into a new ward you always wonder what calling you are going to be bestowed with. We have moved a lot since we have been married and I have had a variety of callings. We got the phone call this morning saying that we were wanted to extend callings could we come in early. I was gearing up, and sure enough I got the calling for the 2nd counselor in YW. I knew there was an opening and I have to say I feel really blessed to have this callings. The ward has one laurel and I think maybe two Mia-Maids and about 13 Beehives. Since I am the 2nd counselor I am over the Beehives. I sat in YW today feeling little overwhelmed. How can I possibly get to know that many girls and befriend them? I have a hard enough time talking to people period. But I felt this was my chance to grow and to make this a really great learning experience for me. So I am marching in full force. I am going to try to reach beyond what I think I am capable of. I was boosted when one of the YW's mom came up to me and told me her daughter was thrilled when I was called in this morning. She told her mom I looked like a really neat person. I just hope I don't let her down.
