Hardest moment?

So where is everyone? Here's a very open-ended question. What has been your hardest moment in your ministry since graduating from Duke in May? You've had five or six months on the ground.

I'm still waiting for Sarah to graduate, but I did serve as the interim pastor at PUMC this summer for three months while my pastor was on sabbatical. The trickiest thing for me was navigating various people's personalities, needs, wants, desires, and demands. This included staff and lay folks and the interchange between them all. I realized it was the thing I had the least experience with and it often took up considerable amounts of time. I'm not sure I always did very well.
