So, remember a couple weeks ago when I said that Steve and I had both gotten new callings at church? We've both finally been sustained, so I can tel l you what they are now. I am the ward YW camp director and Steve is the YM President. I am also still in the nursery. It shouldn't be too hard to do both, just a bit hectic on the days I need to leave the nursery to go talk with the girls and YW leaders, but it can be done!
I am both excited and apprehensive about Steve's calling. Up until last October, he had been in the bishopric for five years. After only 4 months in the nursery, he is back in a really big, really busy job at church. I jokingly told him that the bishopric must think that he and I have a strong marriage or they wouldn't keep giving him callings that require us to be gone from home a lot. I hope they're right!
I am excited and a bit stressed about being the camp director. All the crazy prep work for the fundraiser, getting the huge list of supplies required for camp and organizing the pre-camp hike are all weighing on my mind. I'm glad that I will have the YW and YM boards to help with the fundraiser. I think once we get into the planning and such, it won't seem so overwhelming to me. It's just thinking about it makes me want to hide in my closet.
To be honest, the hike is seriously freaking me out. The 1st-3rd year girls are required to do a 5 mile hike as part of their certification. It's no secret that I am out of shape...can I even hike 5 miles? I have no idea! Oh, and we all know how traumatized I was (and still am) from the whole lice experience two years ago. I am not looking forward to lice checks. Just thinking about it makes me itchy! I'm also nervous about making the whole camp experience fun as well as a place to nurture their tender testimonies. Plus, I snore sometimes when I sleep and I don't want to keep anyone awake at night, lol!
It will be fine and fun and exciting, I know that. I just tend to worry about everything, so I think it's my way of sorting through stuff and getting through it. Woohoo! Bring on camp!!
