The Meeting

It was just one of those meetings where you feel so uplifted and hopeful and positive.

I loved it.

Thank you to:

Bishop Forbes;  your talk about your father and your go-cart in the parade was tender and poignant.

President Ricks: I've always loved your great sense of humor...your very short talk on HOPE was inspiring and gave me hope for so many things.

President Topham;  your talk gave me goosebumps.  You told about the 13 year old boy who died suddenly and how his parents came to see you in the hospital shortly after the funeral.  In spite of their overwhelming grief, they were thinking of you and your recovery....wow, such charity.

I am often filled with gratitude for marvelous Sabbath experiences.

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.
