Back in April I was called to be the 2nd Counselor in the Relief Society presidency in my ward here in LA. (A ward is a congregation specific to a geographic region for organizational purposes in the LDS/mormon faith.) Seriously, that was my new calling and I'm only 25. The president and 1st counselor are the same age as my mother if not older.
Suffice it to say I was incredibly intimidated, but very excited nonetheless. I'm the counselor over RS activities. It's been so much fun and really exciting. I've been able to conduct meetings and give lessons. I've planned (with a committee) some really great activities that have been really fun for all of the sisters.
I was thinking the other day though that I feel like this calling is happening to me and that I'm not happening to this calling. I am working really hard though and trying hard to make things better. I'm doing my best at being prayerful and doing for the sisters in the ward as Heavenly Father would have me do.
This is a calling that I love and I'm working really hard to do my best at it. It's so much fun and truly a blessing to be able to serve in such an exciting way.
