I was released and then called again today to serve as a member of the Primary Presidency in our ward here in La Grande. The other members of the presidency were released but I was the only one to be recalled to the same position. As I have thought on this change today and the people I have worked with, I wanted to write down some of my thoughts. I love that in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints members are asked to hold a wide variety of different positions. I love that the Lord trusts me enough to watch over even a small portion of His children and try to help them find their way home to Him. I am humbled by the opportunity to seek His will for them and know the things I can teach and do to help them feel Christ's love for them.
I am also grateful for the opportunity to work with all different kinds of people. It is when we are serving and working with others that we can truly come to know them. In just visiting and passing by, we aren't often given as many opportunities to learn from others' strengths and serve them when they need help. As I have worked with the past presidency in the primary and now work with new individuals, I am grateful to get to know these women and learn from their examples and life experience. I am excited that I get to work with a new group now and even though I will be doing the same duties as I was before, I will have a whole bunch of new things I can learn and new examples I can look to by working with these new woman. The Lord always knows what we need and where we need to be to grow into the people He has foreordained us to be.
I am grateful to work with the children and get to hear the simple truths of Christ's gospel reiterated week after week and feel the Spirit brought about by singing of His truths in the primary songs. I know that the Primary program is inspired of Him to teach His youngest children the gospel and start them on their path back to Him.
