Certainly it's a better option than metaphorically taking your ball and going home. Most bishops appreciate their auxiliaries' input.

I'm ok with giving him a handful of names. I just don't think praying about it is very satisfying. As in, this is the name we prayed about and felt most strongly about.

It's not satisfying to feel like the Lord communicated to you, and then to have it rejected. You feel like 'so what am I to make of that? I guess I was wrong.' I'm ok with being wrong, I'm saying that being wrong doesn't inspire confidence in your skills. And it's not like I am wrong alone, I am wrong with the former counselor in the stake presidency and the other counselor.
