Teary Tuesday

So I didn't end up reading a book on our snow day. I started rummaging through papers in our office instead, It's nice and organized now and that was quite satisfying.
Got another calling tonight...in addition to primary. President Brower called me at work. It was SO good to hear his voice calling me like old times! Anyway, he wanted me to come in to see him tonight. A few weeks ago he said he had some issues to talk to Mike and I about and asked if we could meet with him. We couldn't when he wanted us to go in and I really never dreamed he would be calling me to something! So I went tonight and he talked to me about RS. Asked me about my concerns with Enrichment so he could communicate with Teresa about them. It was weird how difficult it was for me. I started crying just because it made me realize how much i miss the whole thing. The meetings with him, learning and teaching new programs and guidelines, visiting with the sisters in the stake...i miss it all! Even planning Stake Enrichment and teaching at ward conferences. Why is letting go so hard?
So after we talk about this I am thinking that is all he wanted to talk to me about. So then he says "well, I've got to get to a missionary setting apart so let me offer a prayer and we'll get to why I called you here." I'm thinking "huh?" He gave this sweet beautiful prayer about how much he appreciated me and what a valiant sister I am and other such kindnesses. He said how much he loves Mike. It was just an amazing prayer and I was of course crying through it.
After the prayer he said he knows that I am teaching primary and that will continue. He said "hold on to your chair" and I am thinking "What could he be going to say?" My heart started having that kind of burning, nervous feeling. Then I thought, "oh, he is just being dramatic. I'll bet he is going to call me to be on the stake Family History Committee." Then he says "I want to extend a call to you to teach Institute." Oh, my! Institute in my stake is taught by Sheri Dew, Wendy Nelson and Elder and Sister Kofford. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? No one will come the week I teach!
He proceeds to tell me that my name was on a list with others including a past area authority 70 in our stake but that when he saw my name he felt so good about it and knew I was to do this and what an impact I can have on the YSA's. I thanked him for his trust in my ability to do this and he said "it's His trust (he looked up). This is from Him."
So I am kind of stunned and can't really process the whole thing. But what a blessing this will be for me. (though I will dread the days I teach and Sheri and Wendy are there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scary).
The best of both worlds...those sweet, pure, precious, slightly out of control 5 year olds and those sweet, pure (or trying hard to be!) precious, slightly out of control 20 somethings! Ah, life is good.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my little essay on my new calling!
That's all I got! It's late and I need some sleep!
Wish me luck!
