"Are you sure?"

Yesterday I was sustained in my new calling as Relief Society President (it seems weird to be even typing that). When my Bishop extended the call to me a few weeks ago, I was shocked. I had a feeling it was coming due to some comments made to me but I couldn't understand how it could be. So after regained my composure and I was able to close my gaping open mouth, I asked, "Are you sure?", that's all I could come up with to say. And of course he said he was sure and so off I went to find my new counselors. After a short while I finally had my counselors, Ashley Hanks as my 1st & Jennifer Brimhall as my 2nd and my secretary is Amy Hampton (she was at the Ball's Halloween party-one of the single ladies, the gypsy). I thought I was going to pass out when I got sustained, I even told the Bishop to have some sort of cushion there for me to land on, but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The "bad" part came when I had to conduct for the first time in Relief Society!! Talk about an idiot! I couldn't get my thoughts or words straight no matter how hard I tried. I am so grateful Ashley has to do it next week. Everyone told me I did fine but I know they were just trying to make me feel better about looking like a total fool in front of everyone BUT I'm thankful for their attempt to make me feel better. I have great friends and I'm thankful for them :) So, now the fun begins, YIKES...please keep me in your prayers!! :)
