Section 39-41

So as I was reading section 39 I was happy for James Covill for being called and prepared for a great work (v11). It was cool that he would get to preach to people in Ohio to repent and be baptized in the fullness of the gospel (v16-18). Little did I know that he didn't accept it!! In section 40 it says he rejected it because he was tempted by satan and feared the persecution of the world. It was super sad to see that right after feeling great about his calling. But it's not my place to judge. 

Luckily I read on to section 41 and got to see the setting up of a ward with a bishop! Enough elders were in the area that a ward was set up and I just think that's cool because any news of the church growing is cool to me.
