Good luck, Kade. I was EQP twice, once for two years and once for four.

I am a newly called Elder’s Quorum President in my ward and I am very appreciative of the comments posted, both positive and negative. I think they will all help me in the years of service.

If an EQP is focusing on the 3 fold mission of the church–I mean the 4 fold now–and has a deep concern for the well-being of the quorum members, he is doing a-okay.

I think that every person called has talents that are needed for the time they are in that calling. I was released from Elders Quorum last year. I was able to see a couple activated. One service project we did helped a brother become temple worthy. Many things transpired which were positive experiences. Service projects helped memebers serve. My time is gone but the new president is doing different things that are reaching other bretheren that I was not able to reach.I feel people are placed in callings for different reasons. I grew alot from my experience as a EQP. I feel I am a better member of the church from that experience as well as a better husband and father. I dont want this to sound like a notch on my belt by saying these things. We are placed in different callings to provide growth to the Quorums and to ourselves. I feel that I had a successful time as a President. But this determiniation has to come from the individual not from someone looking in from the outside.

What an interesting question...

One simple act that an EQ president does could determine whether he was successful or not. One family returned to activation could be the thing that makes his presidency successful.

Second Life is both a Multi-User Online Social Networking utility and a slang for being online in general.

Rick, this is what I meant. On a more personal basis, one on one., Just chatting with your neighbour or having friends over (more often, I mean. It still does happen of course, just not to the same degree). More personal interaction.

If that was the pitch he gave in-game, I wouldn’t expect a whole lot of converts… lol

I actually know someone who did "missionary work" through Second Life.

"Hey good shot! You really nailed that guy. Cool splatter. Hey wanna talk to the missionaries?"

Or something like that. :)
