The New Bishop

He was one of the very first persons to welcome us when we went to church that first Sunday in the LV 4th ward three years ago. When we told him our names, he said, "Where are you from?"

"Rexburg."

"Were you a bishop in the college 7th ward?" he asked RAH.

a yes...

"You were my bishop!" he said excitedly.

RAH didn't remember him, but an instant connection was made to a really good, gentle man and his marvelous family.

And, on Sunday, when his name was called as the new bishop of the LV 4th ward, it was total role reversal.

Now, he's the bishop of his former bishop.

And, that's just the great way it works in our church.

Did you used to live in Las Vegas or does "LV" 4th Ward means something else? Am I missing an element of the story?

Neat turn of events though. In fact, very fun as only the church can provide.

Ha! Hopefully he cashed in some sins in his college days so RAH can go to town now right?
