Mixed Emotions

This past Sunday at church I was having a difficult time sitting for some reason. I felt sir crazy, but also kind of weird and uncomfortable physically. I walked out of our Sunday school class when our Second Counselor in the Bishopric stopped me and asked if we could talk. I knew what was coming. Sure enough, it did. He told me they would be releasing me in two weeks. We have Regional Conference this coming Sunday, so they have to wait and do it the following Sunday. 

I'm really going to miss my boys! I have grown to love my scouts! I'm really kind of sad about it, but I know it's God's will. 

As I was preparing for our last Den Meeting with the boys, I was calling around to parents to get permission for an activity the boys have been begging me to do. I spoke with one particular parent who asked who the new leaders were. When I told her I didn't know, she said "they better be as good as you." She told me how much her boy loved going to scouts with us which made me feel really good. It's kind of hard to let these boys go and share them with other leaders because I feel I know these boys. I have grown to love these boys. They have taught me so much! I wish I could stay, but I need to remember that other people need this opportunity to learn and grow with them too. I assume the Lord has other plans for me and I am okay with that. 

I thank Heavenly Father for giving me this opportunity to be with these boys...twice. I have had the opportunity to be with these boys as they entered Cub Scouts as Wolves and as they exit as Webelos. They are such wonderful kids. I will miss teaching them and hearing their crazy stories. They have such fun personalities. They are so kind and considerate. I have seen them help and serve one another and it makes my heart happy!
