Deep Thoughts about Bishoprics


A friend said this to me about his LARGE family of 9. It made perfect sense to me for Bishops, too. Seriously, they want to do everything 5 minutes after you make the request, but sometimes, the phone call will take 3 days to get returned or the calling will take 3 weeks to get issued. That's just how it goes for most Bishops and their counselors.

There is so much to do and so little time to do it and still have a balanced life and not run faster than they have strength. At times, Mark is overwhelmed by everything he is SUPPOSED to be doing. It seems completely impossible but he does the best he can.

3 weeks? That's fast!!! We try to be a low maintenance organization. That way, when we really, really need someone or something, we are listened to. :D I LOVE the good hearts of the men that serve in the Bishoprics! And their families too!
