Wife Like Me

The Church handbooks encourage us to have agendas for our meetings to make them more efficient and to help us to prepare.  There is a really basic outline of an agenda for any meeting in the handbooks, but I haven't found anything specific to presidency meetings or to Primary, so I've made a working draft of a template for our presidency meetings.  I combined the handbook's basic outline with some templates I found online and with my (admittedly limited) personal experience.  I thought that it might be helpful to someone else sometime, so I'm posting it on my blog.  As a disclaimer, please note that the Church itself hasn't endorsed or even seen my outline and that this is just what I've used a couple of times and is almost certainly imperfect.
