Tomorrow, I will be sustained as the Lenexa Stake Primary President. I've known this for 3 1/2 weeks and it is KILLING me to not say anything--so here it is!
The inspirational, devoted, hard-working, fun, Becki McCloud, was the former president and with her help and other inspired leaders, I chose counselors. Although I have lived in this area all of my life--except for 10 years--I have never served in the Stake. Therefore, choosing unknown sisters from other wards to serve with me was HUGE! Two I have NEVER met, but are thrilled to get to know them and learn of their love of Primary and children.
Throughout my church service and life, I have been richly blessed by many talented, beautiful, caring, creative, thoughtful, organized, and helpful women. In a well-known LDS hymn, it is written,
"The errand of angels is given to women."
Thanks to all the women in my life who are ANGELS!
(these are only a FEW of them)
