individual

Today I volunteered at the LDS Employment Resource Center. It was an amazing experience. To start off, calling people scares me. That is exactly what they had us do, we had to make calls. To start off, on Monday someone mentioned they needed help on Wednesday, and today they had more volunteers than normal. It was awesome. They had us making calls to see how each persons employment search was going, as well as if there was anything we can do to help, whether it be look over resume or invite them to meetings or anything. That part that struck me was the individual nature of the work and of the gospel. We were calling individuals, we weren't trying to get numbers, we were calling to see how we could help one person at a time. "How are you?" "How can I help you?" The gospel is about individuals. Heavenly Father loves each of us personally. The next thing that was interesting was the fact that we could understand how they were feeling, because many of us either were or are in the same or similar situations. How reassuring it is to know that Christ know exactly how we feel. He can not just sympathize but empathize as well.
