New Calling!

As we transition into our new community I have just received a new calling!!

I have been privileged to be a part of amazing wards. I loved all of the wards I've been to and can honestly say that I am so blessed as a member. I have been a part of 4 Tongan wards, 2 regular wards, a Samoan ward and a Samoan branch. I have had such AMAZING leaders and I have learned so much from all of them. I have seen kids without leaders or leaders who aren't dedicated and as sad as it made me to see that I couldn't help but feel so blessed to have had such a wonderful time in primary and in young women's. Even as a relief society member although I was young and new to being a mother I felt a part of the organization and I can honestly say that even though I've been through tons of wards and leaders I was so blessed with all the leaders and teachers that I have had. I can name A LOT of them and I wish that I could say thank you to everyone. I think I will one day... but I digress.

Coming to this new ward I was scared. Growing up in mainly the Tongan wards it's a little nerve racking to come to a non conventional ward. We have members from all over the world with dozens of different languages and it's so crazy how many kids there are! And I love every second of it. I feel so honored to be a part of this small TVA community. The sisters here are so kind and there's a sincerity that emanates from them. There are so many kids it is so great for my children to be a part of that. They finally aren't the only ones screaming and crying during sacrament. Lol. But it has been nice.

I was just recently called as the sunbeam teacher :) so I'm Gabriel's teacher! We had lots of fun today. It's funny though cuz that was my first calling out of young womens. Never did I think that 4 years later I would be teaching my own son in the same class. It's funny how life sometimes does that to you. I wanted to be in young women's or something "important". But I guess I get to do the most important job in church too. Teaching my children. Especially my son.

I know that God gives us blessings when we need them the most. And in His timing. I needed this calling and I need this ward. For now. And for however long He sees fit. I am so blessed and I am forever grateful. Hopefully this calling will help me as a mother and as a teacher. I know with God's help I can do all things.
