Fact: My new ward has excess of 700 members.
Fact: 240 of them are between 18 months and 11 years old.
Fact: The Relief Society President went on vacation for two weeks and came back to 24 new sisters in RS.
It is total insanity. I was hoping that these numbers might work in my favor, i.e. that I wouldn’t get a calling for a long time or have to speak in church for a while. It’s not that I don’t want to help “build the kingdom” or anything, it’s just, do I have to do it right now? Oprah’s on in 10 minutes, I don’t have all day. No matter, God knew the intentions of my heart and so I’m pretty sure that’s why two weeks ago I spoke in church and two days ago I got a calling.
Since it’s not official yet, I can’t tell you exactly what it is. Wanna guess? The first to guess correctly (those of you who already know don’t count – you know who you are) will win a Mo’s Bacon Bar and a pass along card. Ready…go!
Rachel says: The fact that you know the number of children in the Primary is telling. Primary President? The program is coming up. Make sure everyone has a speaking part!
