I have been serving in the Young Women’s organization in our ward for the last year and a half and this last week I was released. Combined with the stress of the rest of my month this feels like I am getting fired. I have been very upset and very downtrodden. I love these Young Women. When we moved here and I knew know one- I got to know them. When I had no job and no purpose- I had a call to serve and lead them. I planned projects for them. I organized activities for them. I taught lessons to them. All of which are things that helped ME as a person grow and in the process I was able to work with a great a great Presidency of sisters. I am sad, to say the least- but the new presidency sounds spectacular.
I have been called to teach the CTR 7-8 class in Primary. I have not taught a Primary class since I was 18 and I have not been in Primary since we lived in NYC. Yesterday was my first day I was nervous, still a little upset and honestly didn’t put the energy into it that I would have been proud of. But even in one day, I found that I loved those children. They were a little wild and talkative but attentive and sometimes interested. It was a new experience but one that I enjoyed and I am now getting more excited for this new era in my life.
(One other perk with Primary is I can 'hide' from most of the adults and I don't feel as overwhelmed all day This was my first positive Sunday in weeks!)
