So I'm walking out of my relief society meeting proud of the accomplishments that the presidency made but to be honest a little frustrated by the lack of willingness that both the sisters had in wanting to go visit the sisters. After I told them both multiple times about the meeting and it being lengthy. Urg! Well it ended up being an hour long anyways and I admit that I felt better in visiting the girls with Michelle this week. Hoping since she knew some of the girls I was planning to visit that it would make the visit go more smoothly. I left the meeting drained and so ready to go home and get into my pj's and drink some hot herbal tea. As I was about to turn the corner of the hallway there stood Sister Haslam informing me that I was wanted in the Branch Presidents office. I happily concord thinking that I could turn in my receipts and ask my questions concerning some relief society questions that I had concerning the rolls.
Much to my surprise President Haslam was not asking me about getting me my refunds or even the visiting teaching list (though we did go over that after the fact), no President Haslam has asked me to be the new relief society president. Literally my breath was taken away for a moment. President Haslam kind of got a kick out of it and said that I honestly couldn't be that surprised. Honestly I wasn't, but I didn't except to be called I just thought I was going to act like the relief society president. I really was contemplating at the time whether or not to move farther north so as to be in a larger area where there would be more single LDS males that maybe courted. Ha!Ha!
Well all that has changed now. I have been struggling since Sunday to come up with those whom the Lord and I would like to have in my presidency. The first name came incredibly easy, in fact almost the moment that I caught my breath the name of my first counselor was reviled to me. Though I have not had such luck with the other two names. I struggled greatly because President Haslam suggested that I keep what I had in the presidency already and just add one more. Well that would have been easy enough except for the fact that I have a great desire to be an exceptional presidency to befriend and bring those sister back into the branch that may be struggling spiritually.
To be very frank I do not believe that the two sister who are in the presidency now will be able to fulfill in a way that I need. Right now I feel like I am doing everything on my own. I know that with my crazy schedule and trying to stay healthy and strong I would need a good support. I still am not sure on the names, but I feel pretty good about the two other girls that I have now chosen and will go to the Lord tonight to see if I have chosen wisely. Let us pray that this is so because it is technically already Saturday and President Haslam wanted to sustain us in church this Sunday. Ahh!!
