Thanksgiving Eve!

Last Sunday I got a fun surprise. I got a call from our Primary President an hour or two before church was to start and she said that her daughter was headed to the hospital to have their first grandbaby and she wouldn't be able to make it to church because she wanted to be there for the birth. She told me our second counselor was out of town and hadn't called her with some assignments she was supposed to have made, so we didn't know if there would be subs for all the classes. She listed off a bunch of people I had to find/give things to and told me she was sending her folder and keys to church with her younger son and that the agenda for conducting was in there, but I would be the only member of the presidency in Primary that day! It was surprising... definitely. Suddenly I go from thinking I have nothing to worry about, and then it's all just me! But everything actually went really well- the 1st and 2nd counselors from the past presidency were there and helped out and we had subs for all the classes figured out and Sharing Time got figured out and everything was just fine. Whew! But I am SO excited to be in Primary- I'm going to LOVE it!

Update on the calling situation- our new primary president has asked us counselors (the 2nd counselor is the Bear Leader in cub scouts) to stay in our callings in scouting for the time being. I'm not sure how long we will be there but I'm totally ok with it, surprisingly enough. I thought I wouldn't be. But I am- I'm totally fine with it. I feel like I have a better support system now that I'm in two different organizations. I've felt a little overwhelmed today because I started listing up all the things that have to happen in the next few weeks before we leave for vacation... but I'm just relaxing and I feel better.

I can't believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving! We are going to have Thanksgiving dinner with the Wahlquists who were so kind to let us come again. We got to spend it with them last year and it was so fun. We definitely miss family, but we have so many wonderful friends up here that we don't feel too lonely! We are so excited to see everyone at Christmas.
