I will admit that my previous calling at church (until yesterday) as the Singles 31+ Rep was the most challenging position I've ever held. I worked to refine a list that I was given. Contacted people, sent out notices and letters...only to receive 2 (yes count them TWO) replies. One from someone saying that she'd been married for 30 years, but "thanks anyway" and one that might be interested. It became disheartening. I prayed for strength to fulfill and magnify my calling, then began to pray to be released....well I was released yesterday and am now in Primary. OK I'll admit I was praying for a RS position, but still here I am. I might be co-teaching the 4 year old children. Everyone knows I LOVE children. I did teach primary for a number of years so I was hoping for adults, but I also know that the Lord knows just what I need and He will support me IF I do my best. Primary has changed a great deal since I was a teacher, but I will enjoy the children. I WILL, however, miss terribly my Gospel Doctrine class....I still need it so much and was so EXCITED to be studying the Book of Mormon this year. I will also miss RS so very, very much. I so love the interaction with the sisters and the love that is in that room, I was just getting to know them all...such sweet spirits.
Already missing Sister Shaffer...she and her husband Steve were assigned to the Walker Branch (an hour away) and their records will also be transferred there, but she'll go to the temple with me on Friday's once in awhile.
Beautiful talks yesterday on Personal Revelation, I love Sacrament Meeting.
Well back to work....check out the "Spiritual Directory Assistance" and the "Conference Talks Spiritual Directory Assistance" lists...some good stuff there.
