A New Calling

Sunday Mark was sustained as a Bishopric Member. He is the 1st Counselor in the YSA Ward in our Stake. We had quite a nice visit with the Stake President when he was called....He told Mark that he was a "champion" among the Youth!
Mark has been in the Youth programs for about 17 years working with the youth one way or another. That kind of ages us Yikes!! I am sure our lives will change somewhat. They didn't give him alot of time to hesitate, gear up or plan. Monday night was Family Night and we left home at 6:30 for the activity and did not get home until after 10:00. We recieved a calendar Sunday during our training and we just kind of looked at each other knowing that this job would fill our time. However, Family Night was so much fun! The adults are darling and it will be so much fun to get to know them. Megan is a little hesitant as she will attend alot of the activities with us. I will have 2 blocks of church to go to each Sunday so Megan won't be alone at church. Mark will do a great job....I guess you just jump in head first!
