A big THANKS to Broulims

After four and 1/2 years of incredible service the Broulims were released from serving in our stake. They will be greatly missed. Sister Broulim served as the Stake Relief Society President and Brother Broulim as a High Counselor, with his final assignment in our ward. We were so blessed to have them. They are the most generous people I know and there are not enough words to properly express our appreciation. Monday night we surprised them with a final FHE. (Actually we surprised Brother Broulim, Sister Vonnie Lou was our accomplice)
We met at their house where we sang an original song "The grocery man", played the yes or no bean game (Wilcox's are brutal), ate, watched a short video of their service and had an organ recital. Totally wonderful evening.

Brother Broulim was able to give his final speech and express his love.

Singing

some people have way too much fun

The organ recital included selections from the Phantom of the Opera. Sister Broulim can really get house vibrating. Silly Barry it lulled him right to sleep. (he obviously can sleep through anything)

Brother Broulim, Bishop, Brother Stallings (current high councilor)

So a big THANKS to Brother and Sister Broulims for opening their home and their hearts to all in the ward.

You will not be forgotten.

Behind the scene

When it's time for tithing settlement it takes more than just the bishop to make it go smoothly. The clerk and a counselor are there behind the scene, making and reminding appointments, printing reports, entertaining casual visitors, and helping to eat whatever yummy comes through the door. Despite the long hours (thanks wives for sharing them), they don't complain too loud and even are known to have a little fun.
