Thank you. The Lord does answer prayers. I have been having guilty feelings for a few days about how inadequate I feel in my calling as a Relief Society counselor. I have a hard time getting outside myself and extending myself to others. I was just praying this morning expressing my guilty feelings to the Lord and asking for His help. Then I opened your article in Meridian Magazine. What an answer to my prayer. Thank you again.

Another great, insightful article. Not quite two years ago we got called to be primary teachers, our ward is getting older and the primary is getting smaller so we had 3 age groups, 5, 6 and 7 yr olds, my wife has been in primary before but I hadn't been in Primary for like 40 yrs and that was a short stint in the nursery, I was totally out of place and then in January of this year they switch us to the sunbeams which in my mind was even worse and to complicate matters the kids were totally fixated on their old teacher, took almost 1/2 yr to get them use to us. This may seem funny or hard to believe for some but this has been one of the most challenging, difficult callings I have ever hard. I will readily admit my wife has somewhat different feelings about it but it's been challenging for me.
