I'm in my third year as activities coordinator. 1st year- WOW! I get to plan parties!! How great is that! 2nd year- This is nice I know what I'm doing this year. 3rd year-Ugh...they want me to plan another activity. I really hate my attitude right now. So yesterday,(last Saturday) it was the pioneer breakfast activity. The alarm sounded at 5:30 and my grumbling began. I had forgotten cups, so as Jared drove out to the activity in a separate car (he had to work later that morning) I had some time to reflect on my poor attitude and ask for some help in the matter. I arrived to a lean showing of members-mainly the cooks and youth asked to help, but we ended up having a great showing. My spirits were lifted by the enthusiasm of others; their willingness and excitement to serve, and their energy and excitement to participate in the activities. All the children had a wonderful time. Despite my poor attitude the Lord had blessed our ward that morning. I felt my own prayers were answered as I left the activity feeling so uplifted.

Doing the same thing for 3 years can be very hard, especially a calling like that one. I am happy that it all turned out for the best for the ward and for you.
I found you through Jeanene's site. Tell Jared that Juli, Alisa's sister says hello!
