[Teachldsseminary] OT -- Inspiration

Wise and wonderful teachers,

My sweetheart asked me to throw this question out to you, to see if he could gain some insight.  He is a member of a newly called Bishopric (about 8 weeks old).  He is the counselor over music.  He was meeting yesterday with the Ward Music Director.  In the years that this sister has held this position, she has never had a leader change the music on her.  As of this last week, this has happened a number of times that the Bishop/Bishopric Member has asked that another hymn be sung during Sacrament Meeting.  This is shaking this sisters faith (she is a convert, and Taiwanese, so there is a language barrier here also) -- her comment to my sweetheart was, "If I am receiving these hymns by inspiration, why isn't the Bishop getting the same inspiration?"  My sweetheart gave her the usual "line leaders" response, but it didn't seem to satisfy this sister, and has caused my sweetheart to wonder what kind of counsel he should have given her.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
