Today was emotional for me because I don't adapt to changes very well. For the past year 1 1/2 I had been serving in the primary presidency for my church (the children's organization). On Tuesday of last week I got the dreaded phone call from my bishopric letting me know I would be released and called to work as a laurel adviser in the young women's organization (16-18 year olds). I am very excited to be in the young women's program but am so sad to leave the primary. I have grown to love all 60 of the children in our primary and especially love the women I work with.
I just hope I can conncect with all the girls and earn their trust. The youth are so different from children. Children trust anybody, they are loving and don't judge...whereas youth are a different story. They need to warm up to you before they will allow you in their circle of trust. This will definitely be a challenge for me but I feel it's where I need to be serving at this time.
Wish me luck!

You will be great. In Missouri I was the Mia Maides advisor, and I loved it. Now I'm in the Nursery and it's a whole new (and difficult!!) experience, so I guess we are opposites! YW was definitely more in my comfort zone than Primary. :)
