Palm Sunday

Happy Palm Sunday.

Craig was released from the bishopric.  They have served five years together.  They were a really good bishopric and I have been grateful for his opportunity to serve.  I can't lie, though, I am going to be really glad to have him sit with us in sacrament meeting.  Josh was just a baby when his dad was called to the bishopric.  He's never known his dad to sit with us.  I think I'll turn over all the sacrament meeting child care to Craig for a couple months.  

The new bishop called was Lance Henderson, the other counselor in the old bishopric.  He chose Aaron Beutler as his first counselor - Aaron is the husband of my friend Aneesa and they have SEVEN sons, all of whom she is going to have to manage herself during sacrament meeting now.  Joseph Grimm, another younger brother in the ward, was called as his second counselor.  They are all good brethren and will be a good bishopric.  

The stake presidency conducted the meeting and Craig and I were both asked to bear our testimonies.  When it was Craig's turn, he got up and lowered the microphone and raised his hand in the air and shouted "Hosanna!!"  in deference to it being Palm Sunday.

After church we went to Marion and Evans for dinner and they were set apart as missionaries.  They are going to be serving as church service missionaries in the Cinnamon Creek campground.  That's a campground up the canyon from Paradise and Avon that the church uses for young womens camps.  Evan is excited and Marion is nervous.  They will do great.
