All 6 pages were great.  When I read this I think of the GC lines:

1.  Sheep are stupid!  Sheep are needy!  Don't make changes without the blessing of your shepherd.

2.  I do what my elder tells me to do.

3.  When someone tells me they think they are drawn to a person, I tell them to pray about it and pray about it some more.  And seek counsel.  And keep praying about it.  (Until the leader gives the go ahead)
