New Ward, New Calling

A few weeks ago our ward boundaries changed. We were only in Dry Creek for a few short months and we were just feeling like we were fitting in and getting our groove. The ward was way to large though, and it was time to do something about it. So with 2 wards in the stake dividing into 3, we became part of the Orchard View Ward. I didnt know what to expect. I had only been in Young Womens for 2 months in Dry Creek and I was sad to leave my calling so quickly. But honestly, I love change. I embrace change. Keeps me on my toes I suppose. And so for the last few weeks I have sat and wondered where will my family fit into this new little ward? What will it be like? Will I have friends? Where will I serve? So far we have made lots and lots of new friends, and have even rekindled relationships with old friends. The ward has been wonderful and I am so excited to be apart of it. Wednesday I was called by our Bishop for my husband and I to meet with him the following day. He told me a calling would be extended. Of course my mind raced for the next 24 hours. He wanted to see both of us, obviously that meant Mike and I would be serving together, right? Cub scouts? Activities? This was not the case. He extended the call for me to serve as our ward Relief Society Secretary. Needless to say my jaw dropped and I couldnt help but be taken back. I have never served in Relief Society. I feel completely underqualified, yet I cant explain how completely excited I am to be able to serve. I serve with 3 WONDERFUL women who I have loved and admired for years and years and am grateful for this new opportunity to love and serve the women in our ward.
