People willing to serve

I've been trying really hard to pray before we go to church for help and guidance to get through the day without being frustrated and feeling lonely. It's been really hard for me to have a better attitude about this calling. I know that it's important to serve and that I need to have a better attitude about it. I just feel that at this time in my life I need to be able to attend Relief Society and get to know some ladies there and feel like I have people to talk to. Well, yesterday Sis. Rogers came in to help her little boy with a talk. She always asks me how I'm doing and that alone makes me smile and feel a bit better. I was honest with her and explained my struggles. She said that we should try to have a little get-together. She also said she was sure I'd be blessed for my service. (Lots of people say that.) Later the primary president came in and came over to talk to me. She said that Sister Rogers volunteered to teach my class once a month so that I could go to relief society. I was so surprised and overwhelmed. I talked to her after the meeting and thanked her. I hope she knows how grateful I truly am for her willingness to be of service to me and her kindness. And I hope that being able to attend RS once a month will allow me to make some friends and be able to uplift my spirit.

I don't exactly understand what you are talking about, but I know that I had to teach bible class for the little folks one time for over a year, and I needed a break desperately, and when it came out of nowhere, I felt SO BLESSED to have such sweet friends!
