Young Women's

I have recently been called to serve as the First Councilor in Young Women's! Last Sunday was my first Sunday with the girls. I'm actually really excited about this calling-I felt it in my bones that I would be in YW here and it feels good to finally be involved. My president's name is Beth, she's been doing YW all by herself up until now (It's a small branch!) so it's nice to be able to help out. I enjoy her a lot. They also needed to fill a spot for a councilor in Relief Society, I was so relieved I didn't get asked to do that!

If I were still in Washington, I would have hated serving in YW- it was always my worst nightmare that I would be asked to. I was in that ward for over 20 years-I would have just felt really self concious about myself, especially since everyone far younger than me was off and married and there I was still in Enumclaw.

I haven't been in YW for 10 years- not since I graduated! Most stuff is pretty much the same, but some things have changed. I guess I flunked YW since I'm still not married, I have to go back and get a refresher course!

I have a lot in common with the YW- I'm in school, looking for Mr. Right, preparing to have a family of my own. I think the things we talk about here will help me. I'm excited about my lesson next Sunday- I get to talk about what missionaries do!

The real issue here is that our one active YW is graduating, there are a couple of others that come now and then and that's our real struggle. Wish us luck!
