11/10/16 Benefits of Service


     Peter and Joseph get excited when we tell them it's time to go Humanitarian. They are willing to drop everything and go. Often, with say grocery shopping, this is not the case. The first thing they do once we arrive is run to the empty side of the gym. Peter especially seems to love the freedom of running without obstacles. Next they play in the nursery where there are many toys and giant letters to play with. When we pick them up they make sure to get another run in before it is time to go. 
     This evening Heidi took a CPR class held over at the church. At the same time one of her assistants taught a class on how to use Scoutbook. Heidi has learned a lot about delegation in her current calling. Some who report to her, like her assistant tonight, are dedicated and reliable. Others need frequent pep talks, training and reminders. She loves them all but at times is frustrated when people commit and don't follow through. I'm proud of how well she's doing. Leading people who sometimes feel they were "volunteered" can be a challenge. She does it with a love of the leaders and the boys.

  1. I'll bet an interesting Primary book could be written about "Cultural Hall Memories"
