For now, let's continue the exploits of Kevin in the year 2011. (Rhyme. Heh.) So finally, I decided to let go of a lot of my selfishness and disdain for things like Singles' Wards and the like, and whaddaya know, my life improved quite a bit. I was becoming more and more involved, and once again we can see the Lord's hand guiding me about; putting me in places where I needed to be.
After I received my calling as Ward Activities Co-Chair in the Bluffdale ward, I was simultaneously called to participate in one of the subcommittees for the Young Single Adult Summit, as I was replacing the guy who was previously the Activities Co-Chair. Now, I don't know if that was even supposed to happen during the replacement process. However, as it turns out, it was definitely meant to be. On that committee, I found myself very passionate about singles' events and the like, and found a new sense of purpose, the likes I hadn't felt since the mission.
The Summit was worth every single second. I didn't necessarily meet any new friends or anything like that (it was more like making stronger relationships with friends I already had), but I did have a lot of fun and learn valuable lessons that still stick with me. Also, I volunteered to be the MC for the keynote address, which was a riot. I love being in front of people, and I was kinda halfway hoping that increased exposure would make it easier for me to talk to people and vice versa. I think it kinda worked... Ha ha!
The truly amazing thing here is my involvement with the Summit is something that I couldn't have made happen on my own even if I tried. The timing, the place, the people... everything was well-prepared by He who knows all. That means He gives... and He takes. See ya next time.
