Finding Joy

There is a young family that I home teach and I've worried about them now and again.  I guess as a home teacher you should worry about your families.  Anyway, I worried about them some.  I've only been there home teacher for a few months now.  Well, they blessed their baby last week and that was fantastic.  This week I was visiting with Jake Whetman about our new teacher orientation that he is working on and I saw him standing in the foyer.  When we were done conversing and had chatted a bit with a couple other brothers I went over to talk to this brother.  We had a good visit.  His wife was sitting in one of the comfy chairs with their newest little man and all was good.  I noticed that this brother was holding the Ezra Taft Benson manual and I asked if he was going to be teaching today.  He said he was, that he had just been called to be the week two instructor in Elders Quorum.  I was filled with joy when I heard that not because it meant I would now be released from that calling, I loved teaching those lessons, but because it gave him an opportunity to be involved and to receive the blessings of that calling.  Truly a wonderful thing.  I was happy to attend Elders today and to participate in that lesson.  He did a great job.  I am excited for him and his family.  When you see others have an opportunity to serve in callings that you know will be a blessing in their lives it is a wonderful thing.  I found great joy in that and I look forward to learning from him.
