A bishop recently spoke to Sister Julie B. Beck about a problem he had in his ward. The women, he told the Relief Society general president, don't know how to minister.
After Sister Beck agreed to attend a ward Relief Society meeting, she wondered if the women had been called correctly, if they had been taught the importance of being a visiting teacher. She wondered if they understood that they have no other responsibility outside of their families that has the potential to do as much good as visiting teaching.
The problem, she told the bishop, would go away if the ward were focusing on people rather than percentages.
