Released

The day Zerin was born another changed occurred in my life.  After 3 1/2 years as Young Women's President I was released.  It's been bitter sweet for me.  When the Bishop broke the news to me one of my first thoughts was that "you can't take my kids away!"  I truly consider those girls my kids.  I love them dearly and am going to miss seeing them and sharing in their lives.  I have loved my time in Young Women's and hope for many more opportunities to be in there. 

At the same time I feel this is right in my life.  With a new baby I'm enjoying being home on Wednesday's and having a lot less, in fact no, church responsibility besides Visiting Teaching at the moment.  Thankfully, I was recently re-assigned a visiting teaching route and my dear friend, Heather, who was my 2nd counselor and is pictured with me below, is my new companion.  I'm going to miss the women I served immensely.  They have become like sisters to me.
