Don't tell the Lord what you don't want

I teach Relief Society on the third Sunday. This is the third time I have been called as a RS teacher in the the past 3 years. Every time I have taught on the second or third Sunday. For May the fourth Sunday teacher asked if I would teach it because she was going to be out of town, I said sure. (FYI - second and third Sundays are taught out of Teaching of the Prophet Joseph Smith and fourth Sundays are taught out of the Conference Ensign.)

On Sunday morning after I was finished putting together my lesson I said to Jason:

"I am really glad I don't teach fourth Sundays. They are really hard. I hope I never get asked to do fourth Sundays - I would say no. I just want to get up and read the talk. How am I supposed to expand on something that is already so inspired and so perfect. I hate teaching fourth Sundays."

When my lesson was over the First Counselor in the RS (the one in charge of teachers) came up to me and said:

"We would like you to switch to teach the fourth Sunday lesson instead of the third. A lot of sisters who have taught it before just mostly read the talk and don't expand on it that much. We think you could keep the discussion focused and expand the talk really well. Will you switch."

Of coarse I said yes. "We do not seek for callings, nor do we deny them." (Elder Neil L. Anderson)
