OVERWHELMED!!



Overwhelmed! That is all I can think of to express my feelings right now. Today I was sustained as the new Young Womens President in our ward. WHAT?? ME?? ARE YOU SURE?? Those were the words I said to the Bishop when he asked me a week ago. Needless to say this last week has been sleepless, nervous, excited, and feelings of extreme inadequacy's. I am following a President, whom I have served as 2nd counselor for almost 3 years, and she is honestly the most amazing woman you will ever meet. Colleen Terry....remember that name. She will someday serve on the General Board. I am not kidding! She is an institute teacher for UVU and an incredible woman. There is no WAY I will ever fill her enormous shoes! I am going to have to make my own shoes! I have learned so much from her the last few years, and so I feel more prepared than I otherwise would have. We have an incredible YW program right now, with 22 YW who are beautiful, smart, and very strong. I love them. I am very excited about this new adventure, and know I will be stretched to the max. I am ready and willing, so wish me luck! Here is a picture of "my" amazing girls! The ONLY YW not taller than me is Kylie! The blond behind me is the amazing Sister Terry whose gigantic shoes I will be attempting to fill!
