Passing the Book

After 3 1/2 years of serving as Relief Society President, I got released on Sunday. Of course I have mixed emotions about it because I have loved working with my presidency and have loved serving the sisters in our ward.

But, there is something I will NOT miss and that is dealing with the constant need for visiting teaching changes. These lovely visiting teaching boards, that often sat on the kitchen table and that I stared at for many hours every time there were changes to be made, are no longer in my possession.


I very happily turned them over to the new president, along with a big bag of miscellaneous stuff, the box of birthday gifts for the remainder of the year, the church keys, and the big, blue binder.


Tricia Garrett put on a happy face as I passed the book over to her following our 2 1/2 hour meeting where I attempted to tell her all she will ever need to know to step into place as the new Relief Society President.


You go, girl!!

Congrats--new calling yet?

My new calling is the generic "Primary worker" because I guess they don't quite know what to do with me yet. Time will tell...

I remember when you and Jeff were called at the same time. I am jealous you are released but so happy for you to have a little more time. Gotta love the visiting teaching boards. VT = constant change!
