2. Participate in Councils

A true story of ward council members in Guatemala working together to successfully invite a family to return to full activity in the Church provided an opportunity for Elder Christensen to lead a discussion on working together in councils with all five auxiliary presidents: Sister Beck; Sister Wixom; Russell T. Osguthorpe, Sunday School general president; Elaine S. Dalton, Young Women general president; and David L. Beck, Young Men general president.

The panel discussed how the combined efforts of council members can help ward members progress, how active council members reduce the bishop's load, and how leaders and members should listen, share, and seek the Lord's will concerning ward members.
