Called to Serve
Last Thursday, one of the counselor’s in our ward’s bishopric stopped by to extend a calling to me. As of yesterday, I am the Wilsonville Ward’s new Primary Secretary. I realize that the last sentence was written in Mormon-ese so here is the translation for non-mormons: ward = church group; counselor = each ward is led by a Bishop, a First Counselor, and a Second Counselor which make up the bishopric; calling = a role you are asked to fill within your ward which helps the ward to function more smoothly, hopefully; primary = the children’s organization for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintsfor all kids 12 and under. This means that my Sundays just got way busier! I’ll be taking the attendance, choosing kids to give talks the next week, and just generally being the brain of the Primary President. It’s a calling I’m really excited about since it takes advantage of my anal retentive detail oriented nature. Finally, an outlet for my propensity to file papers into neat little binders!
I have been primary secretary in both the wards we’ve been in, in FL. The last time we came up with some neat ideas so that I wouldn’t have to make assignments. It made my job a little bit easier.

That sounds like a big load of work. Do you have the power to delegate?

Consider yourself lucky you don’t have to do Sharing Time. When I was Secretary, my president made me do that. Ugh.
