A New Calling

This weekend we had a life changing experience as Ricky was called to be the second counselor in our new Stake Presidency. It was a very sweet and humbling experience to meet with servants of the Lord. I am so proud of Ricky and know that he will serve with his whole heart and be the best counselor he can be. He will also be the bishop for a few weeks while they wait to call a new one. Crazy? Very!! My testimony was once again solidified of latter prophets and modern day revelation. I am excited to serve and support Ricky in this new endeavor!

Yes a great day! We are in good hands as a new stake. And my reslove is definitely strengthened by you Emily. You are a strong woman, a great friend, a fun mom, among many other things.

I remember the first time I saw your husband at church teaching sunday school. He was impressive to say the least. I wasn't the least bit surprised to see him put in as bishop, and again not surprised to see him in the stake.
