The week we were in SLC on Sunday morning Lee's Step-Mom informed me that somebody from the ward at stopped by and said he was the bishops assistance. After several phone calls and emails on Monday morning I still had no idea who had stopped by but I was pretty certain what it was regarding. I knew they were going to call me to primary secretary.
Saturday in the middle of complete chaos the 2nd counselor in the bishopric stopped by to tell me what I already knew. I accepted although all week I had debated if I would. WOW!!! This calling is going to be like a part time job. Contact all the parents of the kids who signed up for opening/closing exercises. Do the rolls. All the birthday cards for teachers and kids. Keep track of all the move ins and move outs for the primary. Make sure every class has a teacher every Sunday.
I was disappointed to not be the teacher when all the boys in my class are going to be baptized but they combined the two classes the same age and so we didn't have to call a new teacher which is a good thing.
I am overwhelmed as the is 3/4 of the presidency. But we will all learn together. I am further disappointed that I won't be back in Relief Society. I miss having adult learning experiences. But I do have far more adult contact in this calling then I did as the primary teacher.
I have made a few suggestions one of which did not go over well. Moving on....
