In my calling as the Stake Primary President, on the second Saturday of each month we organize and host the Stake's baptisms. For the past three years we have had the opportunity to serve with Dwight and Karen Miller, but this month was their last month before being released from the calling. It has been such a delight to work with them and I have been incredibly grateful for their dedication, service, and faith. I've learned an incredible deal from them and am so grateful for their goodness and spirit.
Our new baptism coordinators are Robert and Katreena Merrill. We are looking forward to serving with them in this capacity. Pictured here are Shantel Peaden, Michelle Bradbury, and Samantha Shulca with the Millers (left) and the Merrils (right). Not pictured is Carolyn Morris, member of the Stake Primary Presidency.
Primary has been so busy lately because we are planning our Stake Primary Day camp. We usually host this Day Camp in June and it has been such a struggle this year. We considered moving it to August, but I was stubbornly pushing to make it happen in June. Nothing was coming together and it was overwhelming and frustrating. When we finally realized that by pushing it to August we could host it right before the Saratoga Springs temple open house and have it be a "Temple Celebration" everything started falling into place. It was like the Lord was saying "YES, this is what I wanted you to do all along." If I hadn't been so stubbornly holding to what I thought it should be and had let the Lord guide me to what HE wanted it to be, it would have gone a lot smoother for me. Now things are rolling! I have a committee, we have a plan, and it's going to be really, really, amazing!
I'll update in August after our activity!
