[But it sure feels like it.]

Sadly, the exact opposite has happened for my ward. Instead of highly involved and spiritual conversations like we used to have, we are back to the un-involved boring lectures by the new quorum presidency... no one interacts, no one participates, it's mind numbing... sigh. This is exactly why I was excited to move into HP -  to get away from the dead-pan, un-interesting lectures by someone trying to impress everyone else on their knowledge and preparation. Afraid the change has been a disaster for us, attendance continues to drop every week.

[The Will of the Lord]

one of my favorite talks was by Spencer W Kimball - Tragedy or Destiny (sorry I only know a link to the audio: https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/spencer-w-kimball_tragedy-destiny/ ) 

another idea/thought, prayer can be a two-way communication. It is right to pray for what we want - but if it's not right (not the Lord's Will) - we can also pray to know and understand that the answer might be no.
