Primary Secretary

Wow! I forgot that being a secretary in any organization of the LDS church means you are soooo busy! My first time, it was in the Relief Society. Granted, that president was a flake about keeping track of anything (I've never known anyone who was so loving, and so in-tune with what our sisters needed, though). But it was soooo much work! This time, I have the downside of not having served in the Primary before. I haven't been in the Primary since I turned 12 and officially graduated from it. I had no idea what I was getting into! I'm lucky that it should only require me to do things two days a week, once we get going. But because we are still setting up a new presidency, rearranging the way we run things, and dealing with the beginning of our fall influx of new families, the president and I email several times a day, calling if we need to brainstorm a little more. Hopefully, once the presidency meets and settles in, it'll get easier. We haven't met yet b/c we are still missing a 1st Counselor! (Although the 3rd, yes, the 3rd, is already gearing up to help ease the load of our HUGE primary.) If we aren't complete by next week we are going to meet anyway so that we can at least get everyone's responsiblities hashed out. Then maybe I won't walk around all day getting flashes of things I need to do (or wonder who needs to do them.)

I know this all sounds absolutely nuts (especially if you're not LDS), but I am LOVING it. I am in my element. Secretary callings are by far my favorite. So, my life just got crazier, and all I have to say is "Bring it on!"
