You too Ruthy, What a difference. You look so much younger. I bet you feel younger too. Oh, I'm so jealous. I want what you and Melody have. Is this what coveting means? Well then call me a sinner! Lynda D.

Christy, I was once called to be Young Women's secretary and I hated it! hated it! hated it! But...there was one young women who just didn't fit in and only I understood how she felt. She gravitated towards me and no other leader. We had long telephone conversations. We just made a connection. The last I'd heard she had graduated from college and was doing very well. I hated that calling so bad I couldn't even begin to tell you. Every meeting was agony, every activity was agony, I was lousy at it and I just detested it. But I was there for this one particular young woman who desperately needed a friend. Yes, Heavenly Father knows what he is doing. LOL! Now I serve in Boy Scouts. For some reason I like scouting better. Maybe it's cuz I'm so ornery. Lynda D.

Christy, Congrats on the new calling. I have six girls all grown and only one is still active in church. With my first husband it was very diffcult for my girls. There dad smoked and he wasn't active never! The girls weren't excepted by the other teens and it was so hard. Well all the love to you. My granddaughter is very active and neither of her parents support her very well. I have to do all for them. I am even going to camp with them. Again good luck and the Lord will be with you Saralan

My primary lesson last week was on showing support for our church leaders including our ward leaders. We discussed that none of us including the bishop had asked for the calling, we each were called by our Heavenly Father to be in the position were we were serving. I explained to the children that we get in a "comfort zone" and then we are totally surprised when we are called to a position outside that comfort zone. The change is to help us grow and become more like Heavenly Father. Me thinks your comfort zone was just pulled out from under you. I know that you're going to do wonderful in this calling and before you know it Young Women's will become your new comfort zone. OT sort of. Tonight about 8:00 pm the door bell rang and in came a group of young women. They were on a service scavenger hunt. They had a list of service that needed completed, like emptying the trash, sweeping a floor, dusting, picking up childrens toys, vacuuming a room. Things that could be completed in 10 minutes or less. We were able to choose two items from the list of service items for them to do and then they were off to the next house. It was a fun service activity for the young women to do. They were all laughing and giggling and racing around. It certainly taught them that service could be fun. Christy I know you're going to do well in your new calling. Heavenly Father doesn't make mistakes. Melody

NSV = Non-scale victory. All of those things that happen as a result of losing weight. Like being able to ride in an airplane without the seat belt extender. Being able to paint my toenails by myself, without passing out! Stuff like that! : ) What NSV's has everyone else had?
