A new calling for me

I have felt very humbled and overwhelmed since I got my new calling in September. I was called into the Stake Young Women Presidency. I feel overwhelmed for several reasons. I have never had a calling in Young Women. I wasn't active as a youth and therefore don't know very much about the Young Women's program. I have never been to girls camp and haven't ever read anything about personal progress or how to earn a Young Women's medalion. When President Gann called me, he said that I would mainly be an event planner. I would have to plan girls camp every other year. Young Women in Excellence every other year and a few other events. They told us that we wouldn't have to speak in Sacrament meetings. I am thankful that I will have the opportunity to learn more about each of these things! We will each have to speak in two ward sacrament meetings throughout the year. We attend each wards ward conference and we will also be teaching in each ward so that we can get to know the Young Women a little better. Although I am very overwhelmed, I feel very blessed for this opportunity. Our lesson this Sunday is titled, "what I wish I would have known." Any ideas?

Another Attempt at Blogging

I have decided to start blogging again. I think journal writing is so important, but I am just not good at it. I have loved the idea of blogging, so that I can document pictures as well as dates and my thoughts. So, I guess this is my way to re-commit to blogging again. So, I am going to find time each week to blog. Thank you Lisa for inspiring me...yet again!

Kyle made some slippers out of Duct Tape last Sunday afternoon. He cut out some card board for the soles and just started taping. I was pretty impressed. I was trying to help Spencer make a duct tape wallet from a tutorial and he just whipped up the slippers all on his own.

Jared is doing a science fair project with his Friend Bailey Capt. Their project is on things that glow. It is going to be super cute!
