I have been busy trying to do quite a lot of not much important which has kept me from blogging about this. Two Sunday's ago I was sustained to be the second counselor in the Primary Presidency. You would think it would be a little relief after doing ward activities coordinator but it's not. I was actually settling into that calling quite nicely (finally). I felt like I had figured out what it was I was supposed to be doing and I would finally be able to sit back and just enjoy doing instead of trying to figure it all out. Nope, apparently not!
We have a very small primary so this calling shouldn't be stressful, but all I can think of is all the places I would love to learn to serve in. In all honestly it boils down to teaching. I love teaching others the gospel and really diving in to the scriptures with them. I am SO sad to not be able to go to Sunday school. I have grown to love Sunday school since I have been reading the lessons before hand. It has helped me to keep up on my scripture study. I am afraid not having some accountability will become a downfall for me. Do me a favor every now and again and make sure I am keeping up on my scripture studies.
All in all I know that this is where I am supposed to be (or at least I have faith that it is) and I know that I have things to learn as well as things to add to this primary. I just hope that I can share my testimony with these young people in a way that will help their testimonies to grow. I just enjoy more of the one on one and this is going to be a calling that will probably be my biggest challenge as well as my greatest blessing when it is all said and done.

I will SO send stuff your way. We have the primary program coming up here quick and that means I'm writing it. YIKES! I have NO idea what I'm doing. I mean, I know the outline, yadada, but you know, like the specifics and how to make it good? No clue. You'll do awesome though Marlies. The kids will absolutely love you!
Good Luck that is the calling I had then our secretary got released and they made me secretary. It is a fun calling. You will do great.
Well I think you are perfect for the job! Guess what...I finally was told that I am going to be Jocelyn's primary teacher..go figure. CTR5 class! They told me they don't normally stick parents in the same class as their kid, but they said in this case they prayed about it and that's where the Lord needs me to be. I am looking at it as an opportunity to be more involved in my daughter's life (bonus on the spiritual side). I am nervous about teaching the lessons though. I am used to teaching adults...this teaching kid stuff is going to have to come by pure inspiration! Go Primary!!
I understand your concerns. I was in the same spot just prior to you. Being in Primary has been fun for me so far. As I listen to the kids sing I get goose bumps. That is a cool thing.
You will love primary! If you you are like me you will hate the weekly presidency meeting. You are going to be suprised how often you feel the spirit in primary, just as strong as Sunday school.
