My prayers became thankful for this preparation and fear that I would be called to do something I didn't think I could do went away. I was soon called to teach in Primary (Sunday School) and 11 yr. olds were my students. I also have a calling as Assistant Activity Day Leader. I've had these callings for almost 2 years and I feeled blessed to be doing my part to build God's kingdom. I put in as many hours as I need to through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the blessings are too many to count! My testimony of this gospel has grown so much in such a short time. That's worth more than money.

Thank you Candy. What a great testimony you shared with us. And for what it's worth I think most of us feel we aren't capable when a calling comes. We all trust in the Lord that He is there to help us as well as our member friends. And then we grow closer to the spirit as we serve. And what a great feeling that is when we feel the spirit with us. And we learn and we grow and it wouldn't have happen if we didn't accept the calling.

What I think it amounts to is, the Lord wants a willing heart. He doesn't want or expect us to be perfect in our calling. Just a willing heart to do our best and to trust in Him for guidance.
