Today, I got called to be the emergency preparedness specialist! Is that a mouthful or what?? I thought they were going to ask me to be a primary worker (which got me irritated because I'm just about to have a baby!!!!) And then they ask me to be this (and I'm still thinking....I'm just about to have a baby!!!!) Why do I have to do something new at all right at this very moment??? I asked him if he was serious because I was confused that they would call me to something like this! I thought it must be a mistake. He had to be thinking of the wrong person. The lady that was doing it is the perfect person for the job. She has tons of food storage and knows all about everything. I have a few extra groceries under my stairs and a couple partly done 72 hour kits. Not exactly the best person for the job. And yes, I know....I am being called because I NEED to learn. I know I need to learn. But do I need to learn when I only have ONE month to go in my pregnancy??? Do I really need to be trying to figure this out when I have sooooo much to do already in this ONE month before my baby boy comes??? I was quite upset when I got home the night the counselor asked me. I just feel so overwhelmed with everything and I am not exactly feeling so good. It's just one more thing that is putting me over the edge. Plus, everyone keeps telling me, "Oh, the other lady was so good at it. She was perfect. I don't know why she was released!!!" Me either people. Me either. But I'm just going to do what I can do and everyone is just going to have to be ok with that.

If you think about it, it's probably the best calling you could have gotten at this point right now. No needing to be at church every week teaching a class...or finding a sub for such a class. If the chick before you was as good as everyone is blabbering about, then just follow her system, and you'll be just as good. The church has set up such a good emergency preparedness system that it's not like you have to go changing it or do anything different! You'll be great and you'll learn a ton...thats something to be very grateful for! :)
I am glad it's not a Sunday calling but I didn't have that before either. I'm sure it will be good but I just found out that I have to go to welfare mtgs and do the Cannery (that used to be it's own calling). And I just don't know when I'm going to have time before baby and obviously after baby to figure it out and do it. I think it just would have been nicer in a couple of months. I told them when I accepted that it will be slow going in the beginning:0) I guess we shall see.
