Wish me Luck!

After a six month "maternity leave" from church callings I can hide no longer. I was just called to be the Sunday School teacher for the 12-14 year olds in our ward. I was actually pretty excited about it until the bishop said, "Now, I want you to know that we felt VERY inspired that YOU are the right person for this calling (softening the blow), but with that said, it is kind of a hard age group, and there are a few boys..... Well, we all know the rest of the story.

So, wish me luck! This could get ugly!

That is a great calling!! Good luck. I love the new look of your blog, now you really have to give me a lesson. I am trying to get going on some digital scrapbooking seeing as how Cade is my only child to have a book and it only covers the first week of his life!! Ouch.

Congratulations on your calling, you will be great with that age group. They need to know life can be fun and exciting and still live according to the scriptures (you are a great example of that). Thank you for letting me look in on your special little family, it is beautiful.
Love,
Aunt Elaine

Would it make you feel better if I remind you that they probably won't be listening to a word you say ; )

You are just the person for the job. I think you can handle anything. I've been thinking about you a lot now that I'm in the Young Women again. You were an inspired and uplifting Young Women's President and I will never forget your example.
