Yesterday Vickey was released from her young women’s calling. Since we moved here she has spent almost all her time serving in the young women’s organization at church. I believe there was a 2-3 month stint as a Relief Society teacher, but other than that, it’s been various callings in young women.
We thought, and hoped, the change was coming for some time now. With me serving as elders quorum president and both of us being self-employed, raising two kids, etc., there has been a lot on our plate — not to mention my commitment to the stake musical which comes to completion on Saturday.
I think Vickey’s relieved and sad at the same time. She’s a great role model and influence for those young girls. I know she was a little teary yesterday when she said goodbye to her class of 12 and 13 year-olds.
But the great thing about the church is there are always those willing to serve. The new presidency will do a great job and bring their specific skills and talents to the young women in our ward.
Tomorrow starts the Into the Light marathon for me, with cast calls at 6 p.m. every night the rest of the week, and at 2 p.m. on Saturday. We have shows at 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday, so it’ll be a long day. Then there’s a cast dance and party afterwards!
I’m really looking forward to sharing what we’ve been working on for so many months. It will be a fun experience. And I hope the message of the musical hits home for audience members — that people will see what results from poor choices and the power of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
So, you may not hear from me again this week. For those of you who are able to come to the show, please be sure to say “Hi.”
