New Calling!!

OK~ so now I can officially announce my utter sadness and excitement!! I have a new calling!

I am completely sad to be leaving Primary... I have only ever really done Primary. Being in the Primary Presidency has been a treat, and a challenge (all but me had babies in the last 3 months) and I just love the children to pieces!! It has not been the easiest calling ever with a new ward split to recover from, 4 nurseries with rotating classes and no permanant teachers (or adults who would help & serve when we had no one... thankyou to the youth & adults who helped as they were able!), my heart health cropping up from time to time on top of my miserable pregnancies/post pardum counterparts struggles... and well... what a super fun rollercoaster!! *GRIN* I feel sad and almost like we didn't do all that I would have liked to see us accomplish before being released... but I know... without a shadow of a doubt...it was time. :) I wish the new sisters called the very best! Take care of "my kids" won't you? (:( ...tears... oooo... I am still so tender about it!) I must say I do look forward to having a lot less stress about it all... especially whom to call to what! God Bless the priesthood leaders that run this church. Seeking out insipration for callings and such is not easy.
Wow! Glad I am done with that! *giggle*

BUT!!! The joy of this post... I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT MY NEW CALLING!!! They have asked me to serve with one of my dearest friends as the Ward Emergency Preparedness Specialist!! How cool is that??? I am all sorts of pumped! I have tons of thoughts and resources... and reading the talks on LDS.org really get my soul soaring! What a blessing! If I can help just ONE family to be a little more prepared for a trial in their life... how great will be my joy!! :)

You'll be great at your new calling! We just got a new primary presidency last week, too. Most of them were pregnant/just had babies, too.
