"Things change all the time, Fancy" (from a book I read).
We knew changes were in the air.
Our Bishopric has been in almost 6 years and the change was in the air.
On Tuesday, August 16 we got called into the Stake office.
Daddy has been in the High Counsel longer than anyone else there, including the new Stake Presidency so we knew something might be up. I was hoping it wasn't anything for me on a Stake level.
Doran was extended a call in the new Bishopric that would take place in a couple of weeks.
That Sunday Doran gave his LAST talk in the 14th ward (our old cherished ward). It was also the ward that he gave his FIRST talk when he was assigned to the High Counsel a few years ago.
He wanted to mention that but he couldn't say it was his LAST talk so it was left unsaid. Later that day the Stake attended our ward and announced that a new Bishopric would be sustained the next Sunday.
For awhile now people kept telling Daddy he would be the next Bishop and that week didn't change either. But he could honestly say that it wasn't him. I guess it kind of makes you feel good when others think that you are spiritual enough or loved enough to be the Bishop. Not that others aren't loved and thought of the same way. But you know what I mean.
Sunday, August 28 a new Bishopric has been called for our ward.
Bishop Rick Crowther
Brother Doran Shelley - 1st Counselor
Brother Doug Harford - 2nd Counselor.
These are some awesome men!
This will also change up the routine at our house but I'm excited to support Daddy in his new calling.
He did a wonderful job with his testimony and told the ward that he was looking forward to administering to them.
I have no doubt that he already has a great love for our ward family.
But then guess what?
On his first official Sunday, we were out of town visiting Chelsea's family in Idaho.
Thanks to the out going Bishopric that served us for almost 6 years
But what do we call our new Bishop?
His name is Rick.
Do we call him
Bishop Rick

Bishop Crowther
