The organzation
Beyond just the truthfulness of the gospel, I think the organization of the church is pretty incredible. It is amazing that is runs on the sacrifice and service of the members of the church. Nobody is paid we are just asked to volunteer. Callings are based on prayer and inspiration. I have had different callings. At times I have had callings that I didn't know if I could handle during school or with other obligations, but each time I accept a calling Heavenly Father provides a way for me to accomplish all that I need to do. I also have learned to love different groups of people through different callings. When I was a freshman at BYU I was called to be a FHE group leader and I really came to love each of the people that met together in our group. I still think about them and wonder how they are doing. As I think about the various callings I have had throughout my life the faces of those that I learned to love pop into my head. I could go through and talk about each calling and things I learned from each group of people, but I'll just say that I think the organzation of the church is divinely inspired. It provides us with opportunities to share in the lives of others and in a slight way see how Heavenly Father is concerned about our wellbeing and show us how to be more concerned with the welfare and potential of others.
