And the new bishop is.......

It was inevitable, we've known for over 3 years that this day would come. Did we want it too, NO! We (the Bishop and I) have felt like the luckiest people in the church because of the opportunity we have had in serving at BYU-I and especially in the 67th ward. I know that we are better people because of this. It has truly strengthened our testimonies in the love of our Heavenly Father for us. So many of you have touched us in one way or another and always for the better. We have loved every minute of this service. Thank you for your love and support and help in making the ward function and succeed like it did. Every person was valuable. You will all be greatly missed.

The last thing we did was have a bishopric social. I wish we could have had the whole ward but our house is only so large. We fed them and talked and reminisced and laughed for old times sake.

(Note: I am in the picture, not willingly that is for sure)

After dinner some of the guys took on the dishes. Thanks it was a great help, (I don't let many load the dish washer, one of my hang-ups). They should be on the activities committee they did such a good job.

After all this they began the practice for the song that we requested. "Brightly Beams our Father's Mercy". It was a well known fact that we had the most musically talented Counselors and Clerks in the stake. They sounded wonderful and I can't thank them enough.

The wives as they enjoyed the practice.

Oh and last but not least the new bishop is Jay Kohler, with counselors Golden Tawzer and Tyler Peterson.
