This has definitely been a week of surprises for me. I feel ashamed I every second guessed or tried to find fault in my leaders--I guess I still have little growing to do and apparently I haven't been pushed quite to the edge yet. This morning Emily and I met with the Bishop and I was asked to serve as the Young Men's president. Now the kicker is that I was release from my previous calling to serve in this one==how do you like that--I bet the bishop was wondering what all my complaining was about. What a whiner!
Well, the Lord is in the details of our lives. See at the beginning of the year if I had been asked to serve with the youth I may have said no. The youth are intimidating and I didn't think I would do well. Well, at the beginning of the summer I decided I was going to start camping again and wound up camping multiple times with the young men. I believe it was the Lords hand that led me to spend those handful of nights with the young men so that I might feel more comfortable around them. Now, ask me how I feel in a couple of months. :)

You will be great! Just don't get too mad at them.. remember, they are boys, young and weird.
as opposed to men... old and weird.
Congratulations! I am sure you will do a great job. You grew up with a bunch of young men that went through alot of trials, I am sure this will help you lead in your new calling. Remember how crazy you guys were and dont be too hard on them :-)
I'm happy for you Carlos. I know you'll be great with the youth. You like me and Catie Lynn, don't you? -MC Wiser
