Young Women

So a few weeks ago our entire Stake changed and all of the previous callings were dissolved. We were put into a new ward and I was called to be the Young Women President!

To make a long story short - at stake conference 2 weeks ago they combined all of the Spanish and English speaking wards. We were put into a new ward called the Blue Lagoon ward. In our new ward, if you feel more comfortable speaking English, you speak English. If you feel more comfortable speaking Spanish, you speak Spanish. They have headphones available to hear translations in both languages.

I was pretty sad about the changes at first because I had just recently been called as the Young Women advisor over the beehives in our previous ward and only got to serve in that calling for a few months and I absolutely loved it! I loved teaching the girls and getting to know them! I also loved our previous ward because we had SO MANY great young couples to hang out with and we loved having so many fun friends! The new changes split a lot of us up into different wards, so that was upsetting too.

I text a few of my girlfriends that day and told them how sad I was about losing my calling. 3 of them text me back joking that I would be called to be the Young Women president in our new ward. I laughed it off thinking they would never call someone who was in Young Women program herself just 4 years ago! When the 2nd counselor called me and told me the bishop wanted to meet with me, I knew!

I am so excited to work with the girls in our new ward! I already feel so much love for them and feel like so many things in my life have led me to this calling. I am so happy that I completed the Young Women program and was married in the temple so that I can be a good example to these girls and teach them. However, I also feel really inadequate and like I have no clue what I am doing!!!!!!!! I know the Lord will provide a way for me to do everything that I need to do and that He will help me so much! I have already felt His helping hand as I worked through midterms this week and was able to manage my time and handle everything that I have going on. Again, I am so glad I am in this calling and can't wait to have some fun with the girls!!!!!
