I'm a softy
My primary calling just got changed from Faith in God/Activity Days leader to CTR6A primary teacher. I had been in Faith in God for years and it was time but I found myself at the last activity trying not to cry in front of all the girls and their families (recognition night). I guess I just got attached to the girls and the calling. I have a great bunch of kids in my new primary class and it will be a good change for Brent to have the baby for the 2nd and 3rd hour at church but I still find myself thinking about the activities and the girls, will they get their necklaces before they move up to Beehives, will the less active ones still get invited. It is funny, I have always been one to look forward to change. Am I just getting old?

How could you not get attached to a calling you've had for so long? Especially one you were primarily responsible for and invested SO MUCH time, energy, and creativity?
It would be unfortunate if you didn't feel sad about the change, I think. I feel sorry for the girls who are losing you.
i miss that calling with you! i loved it while we were teaching together. it a great calling for you and your talents and now you get to share them with other little girls!
i have yet to get a calling in our new ward. i'll keep you updated!
It is your "Mother Heart." But, I don't think it means you are getting old. I think it has always been there and always will be. It's just time to get attached to a little bit more rascally and less socially conscious crew. I realized as I was driving home from Rec. Night that I have had this calling with you for almost a year now. Time goes quick!! I'm grateful for your example and that you showed me the ropes before you set me free!
