Final stage of calling is learning to let go

ONCE UPON A time, in a ward far, far away, there was a Primary president who loved her calling.

Sister A was so dedicated to it that she had not only planned all the presentations for a year in advance, she even had the visual aids and handouts prepared, everything charted and filed and ready to go.

And then she was released from the calling.

That's when the trouble began.
