Quote from Lesson 18

Sis. Laraway gave todays lesson from Chapter 18 of the manual - Church Leadership and Selfless Service. Such a fitting lesson the same day we get a new bishopric. 

We talked a little bit about characteristics that a good leader has and also the contrast between what a gospel leader and leader in the worlds eyes. 

A favorite quote from the lesson was this: 
"The Lord has not chosen the great and learned of the world to perform His work on the earth. It is not those who have been trained and educated in the colleges and seminaries of learning, but humble men devoted to His cause whom He has chosen to take charge of the affairs of His Church, men who are willing to be led and guided by the Holy Spirit, and who will of necessity give the glory until Him, knowing that of themselves they can do nothing."
