About a month ago I was asked to be the new Young Womens President in our ward. A few of the first thoughts that ran threw my mind when I was asked if I would accept included, "Why me?", "I'm too young.", "Wouldn't someone else be more qualified?", and "How am I going to do this with two little kids?" I thought for a moment that I must be dreaming and that I would wake up soon. Well, it turns out it wasn't a dream and yesterday was the first day of this exciting, yet overwhelming calling I now have. Since being called I have had a flood of ideas and I find myself thinking, "How am I going to have time to do all these things?". I'm trying to stay calm and have faith that I can do this. I pray that I will be able to bless the lives of the YW and their families. I know that I am not alone in this endeavor. I am thankful for the help of counselors and advisers. I am thankful that I was counselor for 2 years. I am thankful for the example that the previous President was to me. I am thankful for the young women in my ward, and I am thankful for a husband that supports me in this time-consuming calling and his willingness to help with the kids. I know that it won't be easy, but I also know that I was called for a reason so I will take one step at a time and do the best that I can. I am thankful for opportunities like this that my church gives for I know that it will teach me to love to serve, it will help me grow stronger, and be better.

You will be a great YW President! You are probably one they look up to a lot and can find common ground since you are close to their age!! Good Luck! I hope all else is well!! Are you guys staying there for Xmas?
