Spiritual - Leadership, have more love, patience, willing heart
Bishop Hickman shared to following scripture in Ward Council today:
D&C 64: 29, 33, 34 --
29 Wherefore, as ye are agents, ye are on the Lord’s errand; and whatever ye do according to the will of the Lord is the Lord’s business.
31 And behold, I, the Lord, declare unto you, and my words are sure and shall not fail, that they shall obtain it.
32 But all things must come to pass in their time.
33 Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.
34 Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days.
Bishop Hickman stated that we are on the Lords errand, He cares about our people. The Spirit will guide us in time as we ponder and prepare to find those whom are ready. Be patient. Trust the Lord. Bishop Hickman stated it is crucial we ponder regarding our calling (Quentin Cook conference talk, April 2010). Sister Fogleman stated a quote from Elder Dallin Oaks: We should prepare for prayer by filling our hearts with gratitude for the blessings we have. Then we are in a state of spiritual receptivity for our prayers to be guided to the Lord's will.
Bishop Hickman would like us to develop ward goals for the Ward Council that will engage each member to do the Lords work of Redeem, Proclaim, and Perfect the Saints.

Organization & Efficiency 101: Write Things Down
You can save yourself time from disassociating from you've forgot you have to get done simply by writing things down.
You can retain key information and complicated ideas, if you write them down.
Take notes, carry a notepad, write it down. Post it on a blog, a to do sheet, sort out the junk, but write down valuable information you'll need later.
Once you stop forgetting to do stuff you should remember to do, you can go on to higher levels of organization and leadership. You will be more reliable and others will have confidence you will get things done. You will be more calm despite having more to do because it is written down, and you don't have to recall everything.
