When we moved here I commented that there were only two callings I wouldn't want--Gospel Doctorine Instructor and Cub Scouts. Gospel Doctorine because I think it would be an intimidating calling, and Cub Scouts because I know NOTHING about it.
So, I wasn't too surprised when last week I was called as the Den Leader for Cub Scouts. Today I got a big bag of books & manuals. As I was looking through the material, I became completely overwhelmed. It was like going to China without knowing Chinese. All I know about Cub Scouts is that you get a yellow shirt! I'm sure I will enjoy the calling once I figure out what I'm doing. In fact, I'm kind of excited about it, underneath the overwhelmed feelings.

I should have kept my mouth shut.

Just a month before Trevor was born I was released as the Cub master in our ward. When I was called I felt the same way you do, confused and overwhelmed, but you'll figure out what you are doing soon enough and the boys will grow on you.
Those are two callings I wouldn't want either! I would take ward pianist over either of those. (unless I had to play the organ, which I don't know how.) I told Travis (he's an eagle scout) that when the boys were doing scouts, that's his thing. I know I'll have to get involved, but I'm really not looking forward to it.
You'll do great!
good luck. it is a lot of things to know - but i am sure that you will be awesome!
