New Calling

My head has been swimming the last couple of weeks. I really thought that I was exempt from this calling, since my husband is the Stake Young Men's President. I have been in shock & denial, but at the same time, grateful that I wasn't released from Young Womens. Yesterday I was called to be the Young Women's President. I'm sure I will love it. I love the women I work with. There is alot to take in and think about and plan, but my heart is definitely with the Young Women, and I am really excited!

Hey guys,
It's me, Janalyn Reil 1st Counselor, Stephanie Brough 2nd Counselor, Dara Unruh Secretary. You all are giving me waaaaay too much credit. Seriously, I'm gonna get a big head.

Wow....I missed that one too! What else has happened?
You have a great bunch of women to work with and support you. It's funny how some callings make us feel overwhelmed and inadequate. You are such an example and will be perfect for the girls.

I think you will be really good for the girls. Congrats...or not, you know what I mean.

I saw you at the t-ball game with your new love (the camera) and thought you must be a pretty good little photographer the way you were taking pictures. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
