We (the bishop and I) went to the home ward to church, and it was awful, well maybe not that bad. It's just we felt so out of place and our hearts and minds were somewhere north of here. Sunday morning was strange, we weren't quite sure what to do with all the extra time. The home ward meets at 1 and the bishop was use to leaving about 9 to be there for his first meeting. What does one do with all that time. We read the newspaper, he finished a book he'd started, (the first one he's made it all the way through since being called up there), I indexed, We started dinner, just ordinary stuff that we haven't done together for the last 7 years.
The bishop has commented several times through the last 3 years that he didn't know what he thought about before because the ward was always on his mind, whether it was a calling to be filled or someone to be helped or just the general welfare of everyone. I guess we will find out. He hasn't stopped thinking about you. We'll just keep thinking of you for the next eternity or two.

You were good leaders--thanks.
You guys are so sweet! I hope things get better at the home ward soon. Guess you guys shouldn't have done such a wonderful job at your callings....then it wouldn't be so hard to leave!
You are greatly missed, but I am sure you are enjoying having a little more free time. :) Thank you for all you did for Devin and I and the ward!! You will never be forgotten!
Love,
The Garners
