Steve and I currently go to church with a group of other newly married BYU students. Our ward has about 25-30 couples in it during the summer and about 50 couples during the school year. I love our ward! It's really nice being around people who are all in similar life situations with similar life goals and problems. We have dinner and Family Night with different couples in our ward all the time and have been making some wonderful friends.
In my church we all have different jobs or callings. I was just released from my old calling as Relief Society Secretary. This was an awesome calling because I had the opportunity to get to know all the women in our ward better. I was also able to teach the women a couple times a year and help plan activities. I'm a little relieved and a little sad to not have this opportunity anymore. Today I accepted my new calling. A surprising calling. A calling that I'm sure will help me but I'm not totally sure what to do and how to do it in our unique ward. I am now the primary president of the Provo Utah Married Student 12th ward. (PUMS 12 if you will) The thing is no one in our ward has children. We have about 6 or 7 babies and quite a few pregnant women but no one in nursery or primary. I'm not sure how to feel about this, mostly just confused. Our bishop is convinced that we will have kids in the future. All in all I'm excited, confused, and eager to get to know more about the primary organization with or without kids to teach. :)
I'd love any advice about what makes a successful primary. I want to learn as much as possible for that wonderful day when a child moves into our ward!
