A Little Overwhelmed

I wish I had pictures to put up when I post, I think it gets a little boring if it's just all words. Blogs should be like children's books; great pictures along with very few words. Unfortunately, my blog is very few pictures with too many words. I will have to work on that.



I just finished my first week of school! I did survive! I really love being at school with my friends and a whole new crowd of people. I think it's going to be a good year, even though I was feeling a little sad that it wouldn't be anything like last year, but that is what makes life so interesting. It will never be the same as it was before. I was recently called to be the 1st counselor in the Relief Society for my ward. Talk about intimidating. The president is my good friend, and she told Bishop that she would only accept the calling to be Relief Society president if I was her 1st counselor. So not only am I overwhelmed with the calling, I am overwhelmed with the great outpouring of love, faith, encouragement, responsibility, and trust that I have received over the past week. I've never felt anything like this before. I am the education counselor, and I am in charge of calling three girls to be the teachers in the Relief Society. That is the most overwhelming thing to me right now. I was a teacher last year, and I absolutely loved my calling. It may be weird, but I really enjoy talking in front of people. It's just hard to choose from so many girls, especially when I don't know most of them. I've been praying really hard about it. It's not up to me, and I really hope that I can be led to the right people. Yesterday, I was looking around at church trying to match what little names and faces I knew. I kept coming across this girl, and for some reason she just stuck out to me. So I basically chased her down after church just to ask what her name was. I came across as such a goober, but I'll be able to explain it to her hopefully. I just hope I can do my best and help all these girls--young women really--realize that their Heavenly Father loves them and just wants them to return home to Him. I've just felt this amazing and overwhelming--it's a good word to use for this post--feeling of love from my Heavenly Father recently. I am so honored and grateful that He would trust me enough to put these young women into my hands and trust that I would be able to do that which he would have me do to be a true friend to them. I want them to feel His love through me.
