Well...today was the day. I have known know for almost 2 weeks but it wasn't official until today. I've been in Young Women's now for almost a year. I was the Beehive advisor for the last 9 months and then a couple of months ago I was switched over to 1st counselor.
Today I was officially put in though as the new Young Women's President in our ward. It is such a HUGE calling and I am very overwhelmed intimidated and excited at the same time. When the bishop came over to extend the calling and ask for Nathan's support I burst into tears as soon as he asked me. I thought for sure he was coming over to give Nate a new calling....I did NOT see it coming at all! I was so sad when our last YW President told me that she was expecting again.....(that means her babies will be 14 months apart) because I realized that everyone would get released which meant I probably wouldn't be in YW anymore. OBVIOUSLY that isn't what the Lord had in mind. I just love being in there with the girls! I am excited to get everything figured out and moving! Let the craziness of life continue!!!

You'll be great! I am the Beehive adviser, and I'm going on 2 1/2 years and I'm so SAD to think that sometime soon they will probably release me. The YW's is a fantastic place to serve!
Wow!! What a big responsibility. You can totally do it though. I am sure that the girls in your ward just love you. Plus with all of the boys and testosterone in your house, you need the girls :) You are going to be great!!!!
Good luck! You are going to be a great YW Pres! Those girls are so lucky to have you as an example in their lives.
Wow that does sound overwhelming! However, I know you'll be great! You have such a positive, energetic personality, and that's exactly what the girls need.
Congratulations! You will do such a good job. I loved being in YW when I was in there, it is one of the best places in the church. I got released because our YW got pregnant as well, I bawled when they released me but I guess it was time. I love my calling now though, so I guess we thrive wherever we are put. Those Desert ward girl's are lucky to have you!!
Wow, Staci- what a job, but what a blessing. I couldn't imagine a better place for you to use your talents and inspire others.
You'll be great Stac! Those girls are so lucky to have you. What a busy calling. You're the perfect person for it, always on the go. You'll be blessed, and so will the girls. Good luck as you get started. -Linds and Ann

Holy Smokes! It's been awhile since I checked your blog. Congrats on your new calling! WOW, you'll do an amazing job. They call the strongest most qualified to lead the youth of the church. I have complete faith in you and I know it is overwhelming but you'll be fantastic.
