I knew the Sunday before camp (June 14th) as the girls stood to say the theme that this would be one of the last times I would have this experience with this group of girls - and of course I cried. But I don't think you can ever be prepared to be done, after putting my whole heart into this calling for the last 2+ yrs it will be hard to just stop doing it. I know that my time has ended and I already feel the mantle of this calling leaving. It is interesting that after so much focus I didn't realize how tired I was. Heavenly Father really does bless us in our callings to have all the energy we need to accomplish everything that is required. Now that it is ending my body is telling me that I need a break. So, it is a bittersweet end and a new beginning for myself and the girls. I will miss them dearly. I am so grateful I had one more camp with these girls, (it was my 3rd) we had a great time! I also hope my service was pleasing to my Heavenly Father and that I did all I needed to in the time I was given. I gained some incredible friendships as part of this calling and will be forever grateful for the lessons I learned and the experiences I had both personally and spiritually. I am excited for the new presidency, all are dear friends, I know they will do a fantastic job!
A special thanks to my presidency, advisors, & specialists over the past 2yrs, some have come and gone but have left their footprint on my heart! They were each unique and brought a special spirit to the Young Women program while they served. They made countless sacrifices to serve faithfully. I love you and couldn't have made it through without you!
Thanks to all my friends and family who supported me throughout the past 2+ yrs. The phone calls, guidance/advice, emails, hugs, and kind words. They were appreciated!
On to my next adventure...
