Hello President

This is what Justin loves to say to me as of late. Why might you ask? Well because I just received a new calling. I am now the Young Women's President. I just got called, sustained, and set apart today. It seems so crazy to me that I have been called to be in this position at this point in my life. I still feel like I am one of the girls, not a leader by any means. I am not old enough to do this. I am only 25 and I am supposed to lead and direct the whole group of girls, let alone the other leaders who are older than myself!!!! Well I guess there is a lot of learning that the Lord needs me to do.

I have known since the first week in June, so my mind has been racing and can't slow down. It was crazy because I knew that I was going to be President even before I got the phone call to meet with the Bishopbric. (I have never had an experience like that before.) Having that experience helped me to be calm when the call was issued and since I already knew how could I have said no.

When I was asked to come and meet with the Bishopbric Justin was out of town and I told him what I thought/knew what they were going to call me to be. He said no they couldn't call me to that position if he wasn't there in the interview with me. Well guess what even if your husband is not there they still will call you to fill big positions.

It is crazy for me though to think that in the time that I am Young Women's President my family will be starting. I could have at least two kids in the time that I serve. Good thing I will know the best babysitters in the ward.

I am scared, nervous, and excited about this new step in my life. I am going to need all the help that I can get. If you have any ideas for fun activities, girls camps, youth conferences, etc please let me know.
