why can't I....

Go a week without getting frustrated to the high heavens about fhe and my calling?

Answer: because I still get texts asking what FHE is after announcing it in church, putting it in the bulletin, branch newsletter and flyer, and announcing it in RS.

I realized that my calling has nothing to do with converting others to the gospel or bringing them closer to Christ. Nope, a more appropriate title would be "entertainment director for 6 year olds" because that is what I do and that is how old they act.


Also, I got the "I would come to FHE if it were something I liked" line again, and it was from someone who is not even in my branch. Yay.

K guys, I'll blog about my trip soon so there'll be something else on here besides my angst. Lo siento.

It sounds like you need a new calling! You may or may not want to casually leave your blog address written on a slip of paper for your bishop to find...haha JK. But hopefully the situation will get better somehow...

I vote you just protest--be straight up honest with everyone. Just say "um, I am not going to do this unless we understand a few things."
And then I'd punch a nose.

But that's just me.....
