Kaylynn - New Calling

 I had the privilege of serving in the Relief Society Presidency in Leavitt Ward with Colynda Duce (President), Connie Quinton (1st Counselor) and Josie Bevans (Secretary) for almost 4 years. Most presidencies are changed about every 3 years, but since it was covid and we really didn't have much church or church activities, the Bishop kept us in longer. All of the presidencies had been in for more than 3 years so I knew a change was coming. 

One day I got a text from the executive secretary that the Bishop would like to meet with me and my husband that night. I said yes, what time. He asked what time worked for me. That meant I was the only interview that day - not a list of counselors or teachers to be called. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I was pretty sure that it was going to be Young Women's president. Especially since I had just found out the day before that they were changing our ward boundaries and the current YW president would no longer be in our ward. The first time I was called into Young Women's, the Holy Ghost had to work on me for weeks preparing me for it. This time I had no idea - so I guess I am growing up.

It was a sad day to get released from Relief Society, but it was time.

My new Young Women's presidency is me, Nicole Wendorff 1st Counselor, Sarra Eaton 2nd Counselor, Michelle Murray Secretary, Eve Verdon is my advisor, Kim Weston (not in the picture) is the 14-15 year old advisor, and Amber Walters is the 12-13 year old adviser. 

They sustained me and my counselors one Sunday, and then it was the next Sunday that they sustained the advisers and secretary and I was actually watching church on zoom while we were at a family reunion in Montana, and after they read all of the names, I thought to myself, that sounds like a really fun team. Oh yeah, I get to be on that team!
