Spiritually Speaking...
Well, it was an exciting day at church! I (mom) got released from my calling as the Cub Scout Wolf Leader and from being a Primary teacher. I was then sustained as the new Primary President. The last time I held that calling - John was deployed to Iraq (so it's been a while!) There are only 56 children in the Primary (compared to the 200 I was over in Nampa!) and I've got some wonderful women to help as my Counselors (Ava Crookston, Deva McNiven and Diane Carter). I've spent a lot of time in the scriptures this week and on my knees seeking revelation on who I should recommend to the Bishopric to be my new Presidency Counselors. It's such a fascinating process to me - the process of selecting Counselors! It really solidifies how much Callings are from Heavenly Father! A sister that I have probably only said 5 words to, came straight away into my mind and after praying, I KNEW she was the one that was to be my 1st Counselor. It has been a spiritual week for me going through that process and having them all be called and sustained today in church beside me was wonderful ❤ Personal Revelation is just the neatest thing in the world!!! We don't ever have to wonder if what we're doing is "right" or not... we can have confirmation that the path we are on or decisions that we've made are the ones that will bring us the most happiness in this life!! Anyway, I am pretty excited to serve in this new calling and think things are going to go well! Unfortunately all of the new Presidency (besides myself) are gone next week - but thankfully the previous Presidency will continue to help me next week :) It is so important to teach the children the gospel and how to recognize the feelings of the Holy Ghost. Several of the kids from my class were sad that I wasn't going to be their teacher anymore (and I'll miss them, too - especially Aubrie and Lexi!) but I know that this is where the Lords wants me for the time being and I am happy and willing to serve all of the children in the ward (and not just the 8-9 year olds that I was teaching).
Also, Dad got released as the 1st Counselor in the Elders Quorum. They were reorganizing their auxiliary as well and Chad Willis was called to to be the new EQ President. Dad was then re-called to be the 1st Counselor in the new Presidency.
