Into the fire . . .

By way of explanation as to why there have been so few posts in May, I thought I would explain that we had a ward boundary changes at the beginning of the month. One-third of our ward switched with half of the other ward and they renamed both wards. All callings were pretty much stopped, though you were asked to keep serving in the auxiliary until you were called to something else or not needed. I had been serving as the 1st counselor in the Young Women's. The Friday before the change, I got a phone call from the Bishop. He asked to meet with us, and when he did, asked me to serve as Primary president (and could I have a list of counselors and a secretary within 24 hours).

Needless to say, for the past month, I have been swamped. Our Primary grew by half. We've had to find subs for many classes every week, as well as arrange additional classrooms. I'm the only one of my presidency who has served in a Primary presidency before. We had a Primary Activity planned for the 19th and stake auxiliary training the week before. I needed to learn about cub scouts and figure out who we were going to call to what. I think that we're getting things under control (if only they would call some people to Primary tomorrow)
