Nurturing a New Generation

A few weeks ago my stake president told me he has great respect for single adults because we are a source of knowledge and wisdom. This is the time that we invest to acquire more education. As we don’t have husbands / wives and children we have more opportunities (not more time) to explore our knowledge and embrace new challenges.

I intend to come to have a family. When as to happen it will.

I never thought that my academic knowledge could prove useful in the work of the Lord, but every time I see that the more knowledge I acquire have helped me both in life and in my calls.

The time was as a counsellor of the Relief Society in my Ward, helped me a lot and I loved having this call. As we are few now, many members have gone to other countries in search of a better life; we have a lot of work in my ward. It has been a blessing that we are going through this stage to see what we need to improve and do better for the Lord's work.

And how are things in your Ward? They have had the opportunity to “shine” by sharing your knowledge?
