Bittersweet

So we went to our "BIG" stake conference on Sunday and like we were told they made a new stake here in town. It was exciting to be part of the meeting, you could really feel the spirit. I know that the changes are the right changes, I have felt that. I am excited the church is growing here in town, hopefully soon we will have a temple, but I still think it will be a while.

Elder Anderson from the quorum of the 12 apostles was at the meeting. It was neat to be so close to an apostle. He talked a lot about how he has felt in the last few months since being called to be an apostle. He also talked about forming different wards and stakes in different areas of the world. It was neat to hear his testimony. We left feeling a desire to serve more, and try harder to be faithful members of the church.

While I know in my heart that the changes are right....it still is a little bittersweet. If you know me at all you know that I am not one to seek change. I am pretty shy and have a hard time feeling comfortable, and confident around people I do not know. I was finally feeling like I knew most of the people in my ward and that they knew me....even if they did not know how to say my name :-) . Now I am thrown into a new situation and my stomach hurts!! I am scared....even though I know it will be fine. There is an enrichment meeting for my new ward this week, and I have promised myself that I am going to try to be positive and outgoing. Heck I was the enrichment leader in my old ward....so I know how important it is to go and support those who have put in so much work and effort to make a nice evening. But I'm still scared....anyone want to come with me??? Wish me luck....I will need it!
