This was my reaction when, two weeks ago, the Bishop asked me to serve as the Primary President in our ward. I had a feeling for quite a while that something was coming and I needed to be ready for it. But, I honestly never thought that this was what it would be! For that entire next week, I felt extremely overwhelmed. I haven't been in Primary since I was a Mia Maid! (Remember when there were Mia Maids and the orange Primary songbook?) As the idea has settled on my mind, I have realized that I really have been prepared over the past few months for this calling. Because of the demographics of our area, we only have a Junior Primary--and only about 20 (or so) children in that Junior Primary. I feel fortunate that I have the opportunity to learn about Primary without having to worry about Scouts or the transition to YM/YW for the older kids. When I first received this calling, 2 weeks seemed a long way off and like it would never come...but today, we were set apart as a presidency and I now feel ready to move forward.
