one is to the building
one is to closets C & B
one is unknown
one is to the copy room (apparently most coveted)
one is a master key to every room in the building
Yesterday I was official set apart for my new calling in my church. It came to me as a shocker even though it's not much different than what I was doing before. Still in the young woman, but now the first counselor. Like I said, it's pretty much the same thing I was doing before (except the teaching, which I am still doing until I get replaced) with just added responsibilities that I'm still trying to wrap my head around. Because we have two wards that make up our yw program, the president comes from one ward and the 1st counselor from the other so the first counselor, now me, is acting president for my ward (as evidence to the keys). Only meaning I go to every meeting the president would normally go to for my own ward, yikes, but luckily I am really not the woman in charge.
I am glad I already know the girls and that I'm not getting thrown into this cold turkey. It will be an easy transition and I'm excited to work more closely with the presidency, a group of woman I already call my friends.

Congratulations on your new calling! I am sure you will do a great job. The girls are so lucky to have someone like you as a teacher and mentor.
What a fantastic calling for you. I'm sure all the responsibility will be a little crazy, but seriously- such a great calling for you.
Good luck!
wow...I think you will be great to them
Cool picture Amy. What a strange set up with the two wards combined. It should be an easy transition since you've been in YW for awhile though right?
What a frightening, alebeit wonderful expericence. It is such a great responsibility, but you fit the part well! Love the photograph, you always amaze me with those photographic skillz.
Wow, I've never heard of two wards combining YW programs. That would be a unique challenge all on it's own. How do you work it on Sundays?
I just got called into YW myself, and am feeling so happy to be there. It's a great place to serve, and your YW are blessed to be yours!
You are going to be amazing in your new calling. How exciting.
How interesting that your YW program is split between two wards like that. I've never heard of that before!
For those wondering this is how it works, and I must add I just love having the wards combined because you get to meet so many more people in your neighborhood that you normally would never had met.
first ward starts sacrament at 10am
both ward combine for yw, ym, primary at 11:20 (priesthood, rs separate), then each ward has their own sunday school, then second ward meets for sacrament 1pm.
I wish our ward could do something like that! It would sure make scouting a bit more fun. Congrats on the new calling, you'll be great.
what a fun new calling. yw is so much fun and really i think it is such a great place to touch lives in the church. loved the keys picture. i think every set i have ever gotten has also come with a "mystery" key that no one knows what it goes to.
Since when does the YW presidency get a master key to every room in the building?! Sweet. But doesn't that one trump the rest?
I remember the overwhelming feeling of responsibility I had when I received that calling. But I'm sure you'll do great! The best thing the YW president ever told me was: "All we can do is teach them to love the Lord. That will help them with every problem they encounter."
What a creative idea to combine the two wards like that! I love it.
Hey Ames, congratulations. It is a great thing that you were not thrown in cold turkey and know all the girls and feel so comfortable. You are definitely in the right spot.
