New Calling

Our stake (BYU 8th stake) has been deemed a "training stake" by our stake presidency, which means members are only allowed to stay in a calling for up to one year. Shortly after we moved in to our ward last August, I was called to be a membership clerk. I've absolutely loved that calling. I've learned a lot, and it has given me the opportunity to work closely with Bishop Reeder and to get to know all the members of our ward.

My year was up last September, but our bishop didn't want to let me go; he said it's really hard to find good clerks. He asked if I'd help train the new clerk, which I've been doing for the past month. It was sad when I had to stop counting the attendance in sacrament meeting!

Then today I was released and called to be the second counselor in my elders quorum presidency. This will be a great calling and a great opportunity to serve. I'm excited to get to know the members of my quorum better and to "counsel and be counseled," as I was told would be my privilege in my setting apart today.
