Primary Adventures

CTR = "Choose the Right"
For most of my adult life I have been working with the Young Women in my church.  That includes girls from 12-18.  It is a very time consuming position, and so awesome.  I love the teenage phase of life.  They are so smart and open to learning new things.  I've always been impressed with the girls I've worked with.  I cried when they told me it was time to move on to a different position. 

At first I was called to work with the 8-11 year old girls in their Activity Days program.  It is a much less time consuming position, and so fun.  It's all about fun!  And I was also asked to head the Humanitarian Projects for the stake.  That one really intrigued me and was right up my alley.  I love service projects, and to work with all the ladies in the entire stake would have been AWESOME!  I say "would have been" cuz they only left me in those 2 callings for 1 1/2 months.  Without realizing my positions, the Bishop came by to ask if I would take on a new responsibility.  HUH!?

I was called to be the Primary President ... over the children's program in the church.  All children from 18 months - 11 years old.  Including the staffing of Sunday School classes, Cub Scouts, and Activity Days Girls.  I've never worked in primary.  This is COMPLETELY new and COMPLETELY unexpected. 

I'm still knee deep in learning everything that is needed to be done.  People have been so patient.  The kids are so sweet and bright.  I'm LOVING it so far.  There is a special feeling when teaching little ones the basics of the gospel.  I'm so grateful to be where I am today.
