new church callings...

So... after 1 1/2 years (?) as Stake Primary President for me and 15 months as Elders Quorum President in our ward for Michael, we have been released from those callings and invited to be the Young Single Adult Advisors for our ward. We have no idea what we will be doing but we are so excited to work with the YSA's in our area! The group we know are all so great. Most are students at our local college, Middle Tennessee State University http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Tennessee_State_University but some are working or done with school & searching for what is next. In our area there is no "Singles Ward" because there isn't enough active singles to warrent one therefore, they call a Couple/Family to be Advisors for them. Our purpose seems to be a liason with the ward to help them feel loved and supported especially away from home but also as additional support to their families near and far. If we help the Singles Representatives (one/two of the singles) do their job hopefully we can build that community and do some missionary work along the way to grow the YSA community. Mike and I look forward to supporting these Young Adults in any way we can. We're looking forward to activities and FHE and hopefully we can make it to Institute (in the next city over) a time or two. This service doesn't come without some sacrifice though so we hope we will be able to be made equal to the task. I look forward to bragging about our YSA's so stay tuned! ;)
