Our service in the Spanish Branch came to an abrupt end when we were called back to our home ward. I was very reluctant to leave as I grew to those those sweet sisters. Our YW program was so fun and we had a few investigators coming quite regularly. It was exciting to be involved so personally with the missionary work. While I would have preferred to serve there longer, the Lord had a different plan for us.

I am quite humbled to be the new Relief Society president in Presto ward. I have had several weeks now to ponder this new responsibility. And while I wonder why and question my own abilities, I know that the Lord can make more of us than we can become on our own. I am grateful for opportunities to serve others and to further His work.

I am very pleased with this morning's announcement! I only wish I was able to spend more time in Relief Society. You will be great. I have no doubts in your abilities at all. Please let me know how I can help this next week as you continue with the harvest. Let me take your kids if that helps. Really!
