Unusual circumstances, to say the least. The bishop listed some important qualifications meant for young men to fulfill their duties in the Aaronic Priesthood. But reading these simply made me think of the ministering we have all been called to do in creating a quality people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">1\u2014Every ward needs a Sister McManaway<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He explained how she \u201cdemanded,\u201d \u201cinsisted,\u201d perhaps just had a \u201cstrong influence\u201d on getting the real work done. That the phrase \u201ctalk\u2019s cheap\u201d doesn\u2019t fulfill the duty. That,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">maybe<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0a feeling of love is what turns that cheap talk into something of quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2\u2014Use your priesthood executive committee and Relief Society<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Today we have a ward council that must be aware of most situations in a ward in order to take appropriate action. We also need to see the Elder\u2019s Quorum and Relief Society ferreting out family concerns, dealing with many of those issues themselves and in their quorums and giving the more personal cases to the bishop. These two groups are still figuring out how best to work with one another, which will, in turn, help the bishop and all members of the ward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">3\u2014Fill our youth program with quality people<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I interpret \u201cquality people\u201d as go-getters and action types, people with vibrant and valiant testimonies. While some naturally choose this way, others can be molded, encouraged, and taught, if they are loved into it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">4\u2014Don\u2019t overlook your Primary<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">See what I mean? We need to be creating quality people by having a concerned and active ward council who is serving and strengthening the entire ward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">5 &amp; 6\u2014Encourage a tradition of Eagles and Missionaries<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My, how times have changed! The new youth program coming out will likely focus our youth to be quality missionaries; quality men and women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">7 &amp; 8\u2014Review Stewardships and conduct regular interviews<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">One of the main duties of the bishop is to interview each youth in the ward, every year. Then, of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">course, he\u2019s interviewing missionaries, baptism and priesthood candidates, not to mention some callings, counseling the personal issues, as well as Tithing settlement. No wonder he needs the Elders Quorum and Relief Society presidents to help more than ever before! Every leader in the ward needs to be conducting quality interviews regularly in order to create quality people, right? And all of this interview stuff is really called ministering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">9\u2014Encourage participation in seminary<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Seminary is important for the youth. But what is really important is studying the scriptures and gathering strength from Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Then, this bishop shared an experience. There were two priests that weren\u2019t coming out to church, so the priests decided to go to each of their homes and hold their quorum meeting there. After that, the boys started coming out regularly because they felt something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Reading about this experience made me feel the love these boys must have experienced. It also made me wonder what I could do, that is perhaps nontraditional, to reach out to people in love. Some convincing has to take place; getting out of my comfort zone and putting myself out there but doing it out of a motivation of love more than anything else. Surely, I can help create quality people simply by reaching out and loving them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Priesthood session of October 1982.
