Help! I'm surrounded by teenage boys in a combined priesthood meeting, and I can't get out! Yesterday both the other young men's leaders were missing in the meetings, and the Bishopric didn't join us in the lesson. Boy was that a crazy experience.
I was changed from an Executive Secretary who did work that usually the Bishopric, Membership Clerk, Magazine Rep, and a whole bunch of other callings usually did to a bunch of other callings. Get this I'm called to be the Young Men's 2ND Counselor, Young Men's Deacon's Quorum's Advisor, and the Assistant Scout Master. I replaced another hard working member that was the Scout Master instead of the Assistant, and I can see how he got wiped out.
In the lesson I was drained from fasting and excessive stress. From now on I'll prepare a whole lot more extensively. The group really wasn't too big, somewhere from 10 to 12 boys. It just wasn't expected, and I truly felt alone in a group of adolescences. I can really say that I said many a silent pray during that ordeal. Next time I'll get a little stronger in giving a lesson to these future missionaries. Even if it pushes me into the brink of sanity. Besides I hear reason and being in the right frame of mind is completely over rated.

I'm sure it will be easier for you this week--just don't let them intimidate you. After all, you are a lot smarter and taller than all of them :)
