Ask your Bishop what the duties associated with your calling are. This is best done in an email, so you can get a written response that's easy to save and refer back to later. Once you have that, talk with your YW President and say something along the lines of, "the Bishop says this is what I'm supposed to be doing as secretary. What are the things I should focus on, that you need the most help with?" Once you know what you're supposed to be doing, get to work. Keep the basic Gospel principles of action in mind: come up with a plan, then pray for confirmation (D&C 9:8-9) liken the scriptures unto yourself for guidance in relevant situations (1 Nephi 19:23) love is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:10) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask for help or more info if you want, but do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Hello! Fellow secretary here. I don't know how your presidency runs things, but you're basically the third councilor with a more administrative leaning. Sit in on meetings, take notes, coordinate class attendance, that kind of thing. (The general handbook's also a pretty good resource!)

I was reading scriptures today and happened across Romans 8:38-39. And oh, my gosh, that is an amazing, amazing scripture. That's a contender for favorite scripture.

Lord Gregorio Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 K. Maybe not a good idea. But an idea. I made a new thread for anyone to share scriptures. You can do it here, but I like reading cool scriptures people have found. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Halcyon Girl Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 I'm trying to write my talk and it's not working--writer's block. WHYYY? I'm going to die tonight. I SWEAR I'm going to die. Why did the bishop have to pick on ME? Why did he think it was smart to trust me with something like this?

Mason Wheeler Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 One time at a signing, I asked Brandon how to deal with writer's block. He said, "have ninjas suddenly attack. Write something ridiculous just to get something out there, get the ball rolling, and then once words are flowing again you can come back and fix it." While I don't recommend putting a ninja attack into a talk for church, the basic principle remains sound. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eran of Arcadia Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 I mentioned Brandon - and this forum - in my last talk, so maybe try that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookwyrm Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Does anyone else here spend far too much time contemplating the plurality of worlds, in a spiritual sense? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an easy/hard topic to cover. There are literally worlds without end I think. But I so want to know how different they are. Like if the humans are any different or if it's mostly just the wildlife that is different. We'll know eventually, maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
