New calling: Executive Secretary
I was set apart as the newest executive secretary in our ward today. I was called last Sunday, but have yet to be released as gospel doctrine instructor. Hopefully I won’t have to do both.
The previous executive secretary phoned me about a week and a half ago to ask me to pray in priesthood opening exercises, and he said we needed to get together since I was taking over from him. That was the first I had heard of this. As a result, it was hardly a surprise when the first counsellor in the stake presidency phoned asking me to meet with him
Secretly, I was hoping to be the new ward clerk, the current one was called to the high council. I had been ward clerk previously, and it was my most favourite calling. Unfortunately, I served for only 8 months.
Coincidently, I was gospel doctrine instructor for only eight months. The part I am going to miss the most is not teaching Old Testament next year. I was really looking forward to that.
I guess my reprieve from meetings was meant to be short.
If anyone is interested, here are the callings I have had since I was married in 1995:
- elders quorum second counsellor
- elders quorum president
- ward mission leader
- stake mission secretary
- young men president
- ward clerk
- elders quorum president
- Gospel Doctrine instructor
- executive secretary
Nope. No ward bulletin editor.
