New Calling - - WHAT?




These past couple of weeks have been crazy and that all really I can say. haha. A couple Sundays ago we were all enjoying the new time change (9am - church) and had come home grabbed some lunch, and then off to our coveted Sunday naps we went. Later that afternoon, we got a call from the bishop, asking if Rob and I could come in to see him that day. My first thought was Rob is getting a calling, since I had been put into Nursery back in August (and actually loving it!) So we went... at the bishops office, Rob was extended a calling (Employment specialist), and then the bishop said "And Sister Weston we have a calling to extend to you today as well." I thought (probably said - its all a blur really) well I have a calling and I am actually enjoying it this time. The bishop then extended the calling of Primary President. Yes that's what you heard, President. Wow... I was in shock, he asked me if I had any questions, and I just sat there trying the process the words 'President'. I didn't have questions, because I didn't know what I should even ask... All I knew was that I needed counselors. I know we have been in our ward for almost 9 months, but I didn't know many people, so this was going to be interesting. I spend alot of time on my knees in prayer, and what an amazing experience that was. I recieved the confirmation that I was searching for on the names that I presented. Testimony builder!
.
Its been a couple weeks since that Sunday, and we are working going on our 2nd Sunday of Conducting (my counselors and I). Its going prettying good. I have amazing counselors: Kerrian Halling, Kate Todd, and Karen Butler. It sounds crazy to be saying this, but I am anxious and excited to get to know more about how Primary works, get to know each child in our Primary. We have a Primary of 120 children, and 3 nurseries.
