Shortly after we moved to Tennessee (almost a year ago), I got called to be a primary teacher for the 10 year old class at church. I had a very active group of 10-year olds that kept me on my toes, but I did love them (one of which was my daughter, Jesikah)!! It was fun that SHE loved the fact that I was her teacher (kids don't always want their mom as a teacher).
When the new year came and the older group moved up the the 11-year old class, I had an easier time though and just when things were going great, I was asked to be primary pianist. My class had a hard transition at first, and I missed teaching them too. It's only been a couple of months since I've been the pianist and I do love it. It takes next to no preparation and it gives me a chance to just relax and play the piano. I wouldn't have minded doing it for awhile longer but...
Today, I was called as Primary 1st counselor. Although, I would have been very complacent and happy playing the piano, this will be a new experience and more of a challenge for me. I'm very excited about my new calling and I know I'll love it just as much. I'm sure I'll learn and grow a lot through the process. I'll be working under a great president too. I really love working with the Primary and I'm glad that I got to stay in there since that is where 3 of my 4 kids are, and Eric is with Alex in Young Men's.

very excited about working with you!
You all are going to do such a great job! I am really excited. It'll be especially great to have someone in charge who knows exactly what it's like to teach my particular class. :-)
I am secretary for Primary and am loving being in there too. You were always so good as primary chorister that you will do great with sharing times, etc.
How fun! Its a lot more work than the pianist calling it sounds like it, but I am sure its just as rewarding :) I liked being in primary too. Jared and I were called to be activities chair people in this ward.
You'll do great in the Primary. Good luck with your new calling!
