Personally, I wouldn’t have needed that advice, because I already knew that. The way you present something to someone makes all the difference in their acceptance of it. Bishops are regular lay members who volunteer their time. Many don’t have the training they might need–a pro as well as a con–so they have to be reminded at times.

I know there is a huge difference in our Primary when someone is called of God and that is made known to the members. They get to the point in their lives that they are the last resort.
