It Was Fun While It Lasted

This past week i was released from my calling as the YW Beehive Advisor. I was majorly surprised and majorly disappointed. I kept fighting back tears all morning at church on Sunday telling the girls "Oh, but change is good!!" But didn't really mean it, because honestly i hate change. I like to be comfortable. I know the girls will move on very quickly and love their new teachers and I know Heavenly Father has a plan. I'm just sad it doesn't include me staying in YW :) haha. I've learned so much from this calling.. mostly, i've been impressed by the Young Women. When i got released from Primary last year i thought "I hope they don't call me into YW because those girls intimidate me." I'm left almost speechless when I see how righteous these girls are, what an EXAMPLE they are to ME. I'm stunned. And i'm so grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of it for over a year. I'm still waiting to hear what calling the Lord has in store for me next but I'll enjoy going to Relief Society for the first time i think :)

I know how much these girls loved you. You will be very much missed. They might even miss you as much as I will!!! Now if only we could sit together in Relief Society... but no, Primary here I come.

PS - You looked extremely adorable on Sunday.

OH I'M GOING TO MISS YOU! YWs will seriously just not be the same without you! Oh, it kills me to think I won't have anyone there on Wednesdays who thinks I'm as funny as you do. :) No, but one of the reasons why I've loved this calling is because of your friendship. We HAVE to keep in touch! You are too awesome.

I am sad for you too. Cassidy cried all the way home and pretty much the rest of the evening. She hates change too...but mostly she was crying because she lost Sis. Hess. You have really made a strong impression on these girls. We have ALL really come to love you Stef. See you in RS.

I feel your pain! I was released from YW a year ago, and I still miss it like crazy! There is just something about working with the YW... and unless you have experienced it, you just can't explain it. I worked in YW years ago (before I had my last kiddo) and I still think of those YW (most of whom are now married and have kids) and "my girls"!

I'm sure that these girls will never forget you, and the impact that you have had on their lives.
