Last Sunday I got called to be the second counselor in Young Womens.
The bishopric knocked on our door at 8:15 am. (so glad I was dressed for the day!)
They extended the calling to me and I clapped (literally) for joy!
I still often think back on some of the leaders I had at that pivotal time of my life and how much so many of them influenced me to make better decisions in my life
(for the record, I was totally the girl in the back with the way too short skirt and purple streaks in my hair)
I am sure that a lot of the time they thought I wasn't even listening to a word they were saying
and actually I don't think I was,
but nonetheless I knew the ones who genuinely loved me
I knew that I was in some of their prayers every single night
and it meant something
and still does.
I am so excited to be on the other side now and be able to maybe (just maybe) be that leader who
inspires one of them.
I know for sure that I will learn so much from them and I am so excited!
Just got to learn that new motto now...
the new words are just throwing me off every time :)

You will be amazing! I know you have truly inspired me from Day 1 so I can only imagine what you will be able to accomplish for these girls that need someone to look up to. You will be that person for sure. I was so happy when I heard your name on Sunday....I think it is a perfect calling for you. You will bless their lives as you bless mine and many others every day just for being you.
For the record, I can't even imagine you being the one in the back in the short skirt and purple streaks....pictures please ;) he he he
Love you bunches! Seriously, Girls Night Out soon...please!
