New Calling

If anyone is wondering why I haven't been blogging lately, I have been called as the New Primary President for a 2 Ward Primary. For those of you who don't know what that means, I am in charge of organizing the children ages 18mo - 12 years old for 2 congregations (with 2 counselors and a secretary). With 2 hours of Sunday instruction we're responsible for, weekly cubscouts, Activity Day Girls 2x a month, Quarterly Training of teachers, Quarterly Activities for the whole primary outside of church, Ward Council and a few additional yearly meetings, my schedule is filling up much faster than I am used to.

I'm not complaining; my schedule was fairly bare to begin with and I'm actually enjoying and thrilled to have the chance to serve and get to know the amazing kids in our wards. I have been VERY impressed by the reverence of the children despite the young ages and large class sizes. I've also been very impressed by the older children's dilligence in learning. Our 11 year olds are well read, our 5 year olds remembered my lesson from last week, and our class of 15 4-year-olds are extremely attentive.

I've been very blessed. I couldn't do it without my counselors (and Secretary).
