One of my favorite talks in General Conference was by Elder Edward Dube. I thought he spoke with such power. Some of the things he said were, "It is not where you serve but how." He also said, "In the sight of the Lord, it is not so much what we have done or where we have been but much more where we are willing to go." He relayed a story of an ox pulling contest. In this contest most people thought that the biggest and strongest oxen would win, but it was a surprise when two smaller oxen came out and won. The winning factor was that they had better "teamwork and coordination."
As your presidency works together as a team yoked with God you will have the spirit of the Holy Ghost with you. You will be able to do as Dieter F. Uchtdorf counseled, "stand close together and lift where we stand." You stand in primary and you have been given the responsibility to strengthen the children. Help them know Christ. Help them gain a testimony. The children in your midst are capable of great things. I know as they go out into the community and their schools they will have the courage to be a disciple of Christ. They will treat everyone with kindness and love. They will be a light to those that are looking. Help them know who they are.
