New Ward and New Calling

Our ward split two weeks ago and we are now in the brand new Bella Vista Ward! It's very exciting to see so much growth out here. The ward had just split before we moved in a year and half ago, and our stake split last summer, so it's amazing that it is time for a split again so soon. We had 18 people move into the new ward just last sunday! Anyway, new ward means all new callings, so Aaron and I said goodbye to Elders Quorum Presidency and Activities Committee. I was released from Cub Scouts right before Quincy was born. You know what they say about Cub Scouts...once you're in you never leave. It's like they put a tracking device in your recommend and and a red flag on your member number that follows you wherever you move so you can never ever escape. Because of this common knowledge I was certain I was going to be called back to Cub Scouts, but to my surprise I have been asked to serve as the Young Women's Personal Progress adviser. YAY! I haven't worked with the young women since we lived in Green Bay, and that was only for a short while because we bought a house in the other ward and moved. But I loved it and I loved serving the girls. I am very excited about this. I don't think I'll have the opportunity to teach much, but it will be fun to help them set goals and see them grow from working on them.
Aaron has been in Kansas City since last weekend and has managed to fly under the radar thus far. I'm sure he is hoping to be called to something a little less time consuming than his last calling, but he'll be singing a different song when he ends up as nursery leader or ward librarian.
