New Calling

The Bishop told me last Sunday I was going to be released from my calling (what we call an assignment/responsibility in the LDS church) as the CTR 5 teacher in the Primary and I cried all afternoon. I love my kids and I am going to miss them so much! They are eager and bright and so sensitive to the spirit even at their young age.

So today I received a new calling. Compassionate Service Leader in the Relief Society. I was a little surprised because I haven't actually attended Relief Society in about 3 years. I've always been in the Primary or Young Women. The only Relief Society calling I've ever held, besides a short stint as a Visiting Teaching Coordinator in a Singles Ward a decade ago, was as the pianist.

I'm excited about my calling and to find out exactly what I will be doing. Other than arranging meals when there are new babies or funerals, I'm not exactly sure what my calling will entail. From all the comments I received today from other women, I am fairly certain it will require a substantial time commitment, but change is good and I look forward to new opportunities and new challenges.
