April 23rd will mark one year in Maine. I can't believe how fast time flies! And within that 1 whole year I've had 4 callings all of which have been called and accepted. I was called to Relief Society instructor right when we moved here. That was very intimidating for me, but I did the best I could with my calling. Then, 3 months later I got called to the YW 2nd counselor. I was so excited. In November, Craig and I got called to be branch missionaries. He's the branch clerk and I was still in YW. Doing both callings was really stressing me out and taking so much time out of being with my family. A couple months ago I was really struggling with trying to give 100% to both callings and still being a good wife and mom. I said a lot of prayers for help and things got a little better. Well last Sunday I got sustained and set apart to Primary 2nd Counselor and I am so happy! I really feel it's an answer to my prayers and have felt less stressed with this new calling. I'm excited to be serving with 2 of my friends from the Branch and for teaching the gospel to all 26+ children. (That's pretty amazing for a branch!) Craig and I are still serving as Branch missionaries which has been very rewarding.
So here's to change and putting a smile back on my face!
I can't believe it's almost been a year! Time flies!
