No I did not release any captives taken over spring break. I got the release from Young Women's (this is the youth group from church, girls ages 12-18). I have not had another calling in this ward except for YW. Did I mention I have lived in this ward for 6 years? Now I have been shuffled a bit between Beehives (12-13) and Mia Maids (14-15), in and out of the presidency, but this is all I have known. I think I have been to Relief Society maybe 10 times in 6 years and I am not too sure how I feel about that. I am sad to leave the girls, most I have had in class at one time or another, and some have had me almost the whole time they have been in YW, but I was getting tired of some of the old lessons I have given about 12 times in my life (always love the choosing a vocation or Preparing for change).
So on to new stuff - they changed the RS Presidency too........
Nope - my friend I worked with in YW is the new President.
Me - I get to teach Sunday School to the 13 yr olds. Logan is in this class. I am excited. It will still let me love on some of my current YW and yet introduce me to teaching BOYS!! Do you think I still need a tablecloth? Picture of the Savior? I finally made my own YW bag about 2 months ago - to fit a framed picture of the Savior, easel, notebook, Scriptures, and assorted things need for object lessons - now what? I have a skinny manual (I use the online stuff anyway) and only my scriptures now. I guess I will figure it out.
Such peace and quiet at my house today. All kids went to school. Although at the wrap party for spring break I got an award for Best Mom. My house is a mess - the back patio is worse and the half pipe is not done yet. I guess we will see what happens this week.

I can't believe you didn't tell me this earlier! Hallelujah!
Ahhh Sister Cole! The Young Women will have an empty space with awful big shoes to fill! Oh but I loved working with you back in the day. Never was there a more supportive counselor! The good news is that we will forever be girlfriends! And I'm sure the same could be said from many of those girls! You're the BEST!!! And-Yes! I love you!
You'll do great. I loved your lessons. Way to go for the best mom award!!
I was sad to leave YW, but it's always a bit of a relief, too. That is such an important stewardship. I do love it, though.
Still, teaching the 13-year-olds in Sunday School will be a great job. My sister does the same thing. She says it's a little hard because they use the same lessons we do for gospel doctrine and that some of them get a bit repetitive. But she loves the age group.
Have fun, and good luck with the new calling!
