Work Hard, Play Hard, Pray Hard: Bishopric

Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Bishopric

A year ago (last November) we recieved a call from a Bishop Jamison asking us to come over and meet him, Devin then was called by the Stake President two days later where he called Devin into a Single's Ward Bishopric. This is normally a 3 year calling for the Bishop and Counselors unless you are a Student Counselor (aka Devin) which it is then normally a one year calling.

So last Sunday (a year and 6 weeks later) Devin was released from the Bishopric. We had a great testimony meeting where we got to share our feelings about the past year. We are very greatful for the opportunity this service has been, and all the friendships weve made and the leadership opportunities Devin has had.

We look forward to being in the Married Student Ward with many of our friends again, but of course we are sad to be leaving the close friendships that we had in the Single's Ward.

It was a great year, Thanks everyone for your love and support.
