I was recently called to serve as 2nd counselor in our young women's presidency in my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I had a really cool experience with this. I knew that our current leaders were being released, because I was an advisor within the Beehive class. I had only been in a few months so I wasn't surprised when I didn't get a message that I was also going to be released. NEVER did I think I would be called to the presidency. One of the other advisors was teasing me that I would be the new "Beehive President", which is the 2nd counsel of the presidency...right I thought...but then I had gentle reminder that Heavenly Father calls who he knows is the right fit at the right time. I remember thinking...Ok Heavenly Father, if you want me to have this calling and work with these amazing young women, I will gladly do it. There was this warm, peaceful, burning feeling and I knew it was the Holy Ghost. I still brushed it off and went about my day. Later that evening, I was visited by a member of our bishopric and was extended the calling. I knew for a surety that Heavenly Father was preparing me earlier in the day for the call that would later come.
As preparation for changing leaders and in an effort to reach out to each girl, I found this cute little handout from
Pumpkin and a Princess. I laminated them and put the names of the advisors who now would be working with the girls.
I am so thankful for this opportunity to get to work with such great women and to hopefully influence the lives of the girls I'm working with!!
