Problem Resolved

So this past week i found myself in a pickle. As the Executive Director over president's training we were holding the first of our what have come to be weekly meetings. About 2 hours before the training i found out there was nobody signed up to do it. i went to me class and thought "oh well, I will make the best of the situation." So I decided that this would be a good opportunity for me to help my new assistant catch the vision we have for our club president's, so I decided we would still go through the training together even though nobody would be there. The problem was my assistant had other plans and had decided that since there was nobody to train we could do other things. So there was a brief spat, and we left the situation alone.

Afterwards I was left upset, and mad and frustrated because i had high hopes. So I took a few days to cool off, and one night when I was finding it hard to sleep I asked my heavenly father what to do, and pondered over the situation. It came to me that i should apologize (but I was in the right) yep apologize and instead of making a bad situation worse turn it around for the best. The second thought I had is, my assistant is a child of God and a God in embryo, I am working with a powerful individual. I also thought of this class and the people who are freshmen, new to BYU, and I thought of how powerful my class/students are. this lead me to believe that my assistant could actually handle the whole training on their own and while I still felt I needed to bare my testimony of BYUSA's vision for the year to this individual and impart how important I feel about these president's trainings, other than that my assistant can handle the whole thing, and did not need me to hold their hand through the situation.

I have since had a conversation apologizing, expressing my appreciation for this individual and also giving them more responsibility, because they can handle it. I was mad at first, and now I am comforted and confident, and i feel closer to this individual. I am grateful for them.
