Last night I had the opportunity to meet with the new Valley View Branch Primary Presidency.
I was nervous all day because 1. I don't really speak spanish(you would think after 3 years of spanish class I would have retained something!) and 2. Sharing a church with the Valley View, I haven't always had great experiences.(lock breaking, crashing activities, messy, loud....)
I prayed all day that I would somehow be able to teach the ladies what they needed, despite my bad attitude. The second that I walked through the door I felt calm. And what an amazing night I had. There was one sister who spoke english, so she translated everything. The spirit there was so strong and I immediately felt love for each of the sisters there. They want so badly to give the kids in their primary all the tools that they need so that they can build their families up and be strong members of the church. I just couldn't give them enough information! Talking with them last night I realized that most of their kids are the only active ones in their families. They have such a big job ahead of them, but I am confident they are going to do a great job!!!!!
I have felt so picked on since I was moved to my Stake calling. I loved being able to work with all the kids every week. Last night I finally felt like I was there for a reason, and knew that even though I am not with the kids I am still helping them. I am so grateful for all that my Heavenly Father gives me. I feel so blessed and I know that he is right beside me every step of the way helping me make the right choices in my life! And I am so thankful for that!!!!!
