Pride and Priesthood - Uctdorf

I got to teach this lesson. I love to teach because its great practice and I always learn so much. This was such a great talk and Pres. Uctdorf spoke such wonderful words that I just made a worksheet that people listened to the talk and filled it out.

We then discussed the last quote on humility.

A few friends also took extra worksheets for FHE.

Please share your thoughts, comments, and impressions you receive as you re listen to this talk.

Some suppose that humility is about beating ourselves up. Humility does not mean convincing ourselves that we are worthless, meaningless, or of little value. Nor does it mean denying or withholding the talents God has given us. We don’t discover humility by thinking less of ourselves; we discover humility by thinking less about ourselves. It comes as we go about our work with an attitude of serving God and our fellowman.
