Change of Heart

Excuse the bags under my eyes in this pictures. It was our last day of moving AND I was saying goodbye to my friend Julie. Not a very good day.

We have lived in this new ward since July 1st ish. Scott got a calling a while ago, but I had not. A woman called and asked me on Sunday if I wouldn't mind subbing for her in nursery on Sunday...strange, I thought, that she would ask me of all the people in the ward to choose from and all of the parents of the children in nursery...I had this feeling...I already had an appointment for before church set up to meet with a bishopric counselor. I already knew something was coming. While I was getting ready for church, I knew what my new calling was going to be. I even told Scott that's what it was going to be. He kind of laughed and said I was totally jumping to conclusions. How could I jump to that conclusion with that little bit of information??

Because, somebody was helping prepare me, that's why. I might have cried if he sprung that one on me totally unaware. I didn't want to be in nursery. Didn't want to be isolated in nursery in a brand new ward. Nope, no thank you. Scott didn't give me what I was looking for when I told him. He was way too supportive and positive. ;) I texted my friend Julie and she gave me exactly what I needed and wanted to hear. She did manage to make me smile. Felt a little better. Still moaned and groaned a large part of yesterday.



But I woke up this morning feeling much better. Dare I say change of heart??? We will see. But I am looking on the internet getting some fun ideas. Wish me luck. After all, if I'm going to do something, I might as well do one hell of a job!!

  1. I know how you must have felt -- that's something we always tried not to do (when I was the Primary Pres.) was to put a new person in the nursery. But honestly -- I am overwhelmed with how much good our nursery leader does and am so grateful for her and her efforts. You will be wonderful and you will meet the moms and dads of those little guys -- and they will love you.

  2. Heather that was exactly how I felt. I just got rid of my kids, just moved, and hadn't been in relief society for years...but guess what? Ended up being the best calling ever! You will be great! There is a great CD out there for handouts. Good Luck!

  3. Thats the spirit. I knew you would be "Mrs. Nurserymom" before you were through. We all loved Hunter's nursery leaders. What a great example they were.
