Today Brother Blakely [a counselor in our bishopric] called at about 7:45. I heard it ring. I even watched it vibrate. Aaaand I ignored it. I remember thinking to myself, who in the world would call me this early in the morning when we don't meet for church until 9:30? Don't they know who we are?
I turned over and tried to go back to sleep-but I couldn't. So I listened to the voicemail where they asked if we could meet them today, as soon as possible. I assumed it was a calling, but I had just gotten one in compassionate service a few weeks ago. But Lester and I decided that even though we wanted to sleep, it must be important so we went.
and guess what? I WAS RIGHT! I am now the 1st counselor in the Primary Presidency! I cant even begin to describe how excited I am about this! They sustained me in sacrament meeting today, and set me apart after church. My friend Catherine is the president and I can't wait to be serving under her and with the kids! Its almost like an early Christmas present-hopefully I'll do good. I'm a little nervous, bc I've never done this before, but again mostly just excited. So that's whats up right now!
[guess I'd better brush up on my primary songs haha!]
Congrats! I love primary! You'll be great with the kids!

ReplyDeleteYou'll do great Julia! Call me if you need any ideas. You know I've been in the Primary Presidency the entire time I've been married,and Primary President 3 times (that's my calling right now as a matter of fact) so I know all of the great websites to go to to find ideas. I have some on the side of my blog too. Good luck!
