LDS, YSA, and FHE... OMG!

I figured I could start blogging again, being that I have all this free time now. Class of 2011, baby!

So, as you all do not know (since I haven't blogged in many moons) I have been in the Young Single Adult ward in my stake for a little over a year now. My dad was called to be the ward clerk which then entailed that my whole family transferred out of our comfortable family ward. I was not too thrilled about that fact, however I went the next Sunday with sweaty palms and a smile on my face.

My mom got called to be the Sunday school teacher of the youth in the ward, which included 4 of the bishop's daughters, 1 of the counselor’s daughters, and me. Since these girls had been in the ward for 3 years together, I felt majorly out of the loop and shortly became unwelcomed (and afraid). I stopped going to class at the singles ward and went to my family ward for class. This became tiring and a little complicated so I started going to relief society after my mom was released. She was the only reason I kept going to class.

Now, 6 months later and 18 years of age, I am an official member of the ward. I got a visiting teaching partner and my first calling! My calling suits me, if I do say so myself. Family Home Evening Committee. I get to help plan future FHE activities. I've always wanted to go to FHE activities but I get afraid because I don't know anyone in the ward. I suppose that is partly my fault because I haven't taken time to get to know people, but that just really isn't my personality. Now I'll be forced, in a way, to interact with the singles and have some fun! Ballroom dancing is tomorrow. I'll post an update.
