Today I was released as the ward Primary President. I had a couple of weeks to prepare myself for this big change but it was still an emotional day for me. The bishop surprised me by asking me to share my testimony. I have enjoyed every minute I spent in the Primary. I look back and see all the things I have learned and how many ways my life has been blessed because of serving in this calling. If I had never been called in Primary, I would never attended Woodbadge and made new friends and learned excellent leadership skills.
I thank Heavenly Father for giving me this opportunity to serve in Primary. After 3 years, it's time for someone else to learn and grow. And it's time for me to move on to another calling so I can learn and grow some more! I'll sure miss Primary and the wonderful sweet spirit found there! While in Primary, I was always reminded of the scripture story of Christ visiting the Nephites after He was resurrected. He blessed the children one by one and the heavens opened and angels came and ministered to the children. Children truly do hold a special place in Heavenly Father's and Jesus Christ's heart and I feel priviledged to be able to be a part of Primary for a little while.
So, now I don't have a calling but I've been told not to get too comfortable! I'm just anxious to find out what I'll be doing next!

It made me teary just reading your blog ... and thinking of my turn as Primary pres. You've had some choice experiences. But you'll have more. XOXO Mom
Reading that post reminded me of exactly how I felt when I was released. I miss Primary so much too! It sounds like you were a wonderful Primary president!
Ah, bitter sweet. They were lucky to have you as long as they did.

You never know what kind of an impact you had on any one of those children. Sounds like you had a great time in Primary and were a great president.
