Changes
Changes can be so hard somtimes. We went to our new ward today in the new building. The building is also new, but is very small and narrow. Our new ward has over 500 people in it so it is easy to get lost. The halls are very narrow and always packed with people. They sustained the YW and YM presidencies and their counselors today. Still waiting on Primary and RS. I know who the primary president is and she will be great. She gets a primary of 150 children (not including a super large nursery). It was weird not to have anything to do or run around all day. I actually had to go to RS, which you all know I just adore (not!). It was squishy with lots of people and so many babies that you could not hear very well. I am sure I will get used to it in time. It made me sad for the old ward today. A little while ago, I recieved a call from a friend in the old ward. She told me her kids missed seeing me in primary today. That made me feel better. It also made me sad that I won't get to see those kids much. Change is hard, but I know it will be okay. Every time we have made a change, it has turned out to be good. This is our fifth ward change, so at least I can say I know a few people in four different wards. The theme for the day in the testimonies shared was we know Heavenly Father is aware of each and every one of us. He knows our name, where we are, and what we need. He loves us and will take care of us if we will just listen, obey, and be patient. I know that He is aware of me and that will make this change easier to bear.

Change is hard. And I think you are wonderful and will miss your fun-loving personality.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't RS and SS seem so looooong, after being so busy as Primary President? I used to go take a "walking" break in between, just to get some energy out. I'm worse than the kids! :)
I missed you in primary! I made Mindi your great blondie recipe to get her started on this craziness...
ReplyDeleteIt was a weird day too. I feel that as I get older, I like familiarity a LOT, and I view getting to know people as work, bad attitude. I know that we are meant to get to know these people because we are going to work side by side LATER ON!
It was fun to be back together again while it lasted. I know that Cory mentioned missing the Mesquite Ranch boys in deacon's quorum and in sunday school where there are more girls than boys now. It was also fun to see some of our "old" Vail ward friends again. We'll have Stake Conferences to look forward to now.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't primary president anymore!?! So sad for you! That means you could end up with something harder:) or easier:). Enjoy the little vacation and I'm sure Primary would love to have you substitute anytime!
ReplyDeleteI'll miss having that in common between us as I continue to plan sharing times, etc. Thanks for posting.
I hear you on the babies in RS...actually I can't hear you because there are so many babies in our ward now it's really noisy! I'll survive I suppose...or try to remember that a long time ago I had a noisy baby.
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss seeing you guys around as well. Jackson was like Cory - and mentioned that he missed the mesquite ranch boys. I told him he just had to wait until highschool and he can hang out with them there...ugh highschool? Good thing we've got another year and a half.
I feel exactly the same way. I taught the CTR 4 class in an office. The only way to squish our family into a pew on Sunday was to sit at a 45 degree angle with Joshua on my lap. I miss Kellie doing music and the false sense of control I used to feel in Primary. I'm sure it will be better soon. Change is good? I miss our old ward and the Stake Center. :(
