Qgirly Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) So I have a bunion surgery around dec. and it's healing and all but I'm not 100 percent back to normal just yet . My foot is in my pain when standing for a long period of time . I'm limping around and it's swollen. I m not sure how to go about telling my bishop that I'm not ready to fullfill my calling just yet. I am in pain still .. I'm going to go see my dr this wedn. I'm frustrated because I want to fullfill my calling so bad and be apart of my ward . I love being mormon and right now I just want to avoid everyone because I don't want to face anyone since I'm not able to do my callings. I'm not sure what to . I've ready deleted alot of people of my fb from the ward because I was going to shut my fb down but ended up changing my mind. I know I'm being childish and I need to talk to my bishop about it instead of avoiding him. I'm so confused. Edited February 10, 2013 by Qgirly Mispelled Quote
Finrock Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Good Evening Qgirly. I hope you are feeling better! :) What are you confused about? I didn't understand it from your post. Respectfully, Finrock Quote
Roseslipper Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 u might be able to do ur callng still, but maybe just in a different way....hope u feel better soon. Quote
Qgirly Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 It's a compassionate service something calling like I have to cook and stuff for people who are sick . Im confused and frustrated because I can't even cook for myself. I've been avoiding lots of people from church because I don't know what to tell them ESP my bishop. I'm not even able to drive around that much just yet and I'm not even able to get back to work. Quote
Guest LiterateParakeet Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 The way I understand the Compassionate Service calling is NOT that YOU have to do all the cooking etc, but that you help co-ordinate it. Lots of phone calls and emails, and keeping a calendar so a new mom doesn't get 3 meals on the same day and nothing the rest of the week. I think your Bishop would be saddened to know that you are avoiding church and church friendships because you are feeling stressed about this. That is not the purpose of calllings at all. Please do talk to him so he can reassure you that I am right. Quote
Qgirly Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 No I'm not a coordinator I don't do the callings or the emails. This other lady does all of that. I would get a call or texts from her to cook and bring food for people. Quote
NeuroTypical Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Go see the bishop and tell him your problems. That's really the only thing to do, and you've already mentioned you need to do it, so go do it. Instead of explaining the consequences or result (I can't do my calling), explain what's happening (It's painful to stand and I'm having problems even cooking for myself). He'll counsel with you to resolve things so they work out. Quote
Qgirly Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 The thing is I'm not so good with doing that either. I'm a shy girl. Quote
