The phone call came while we were down at the Lake with our team; "Can you be at church at 9:30 on Sunday? Brother Wright would like to talk to you and your husband." Well this phone call only means one thing, a call to serve in a Church calling is going to be extended. We both looked at each other and thought, "probably district leaders". So that would be just fine. . . a great calling for the both of us.
We arrived a few minutes early and sat and chatted with some other couples that were being called to positions. Then it was our turn, into the room we went. There sat the 4 Brothers who take care of all the Church part of camp as well as taking care of the actual operation of the camp; Brothers Wright, Case, Riddle, and Edwards. We sat down and then Brother Wright spoke.. . " Sister Brown we would like to extend to you the calling to be the Compassionate Service leader in the Relief Society". I was astonished! This is not what I had expected! I was thrilled to accept the calling, but, I have never done this before and felt totally humbled by it. Whoa! Can I do this? Steve was asked if he could support me in this calling and he answered, yes!
After our meetings I wa set apart by the Priesthood and the call was official. I listened carefully as Brother Case said the words of my blessing. I was told to pray and ask for the Lord's help, and that my families would be blessed for my service. The tears were just flowing down my cheeks.
I pray that the Lord will have compassion on me as I serve the wonderful sisters on the mountain.
