At stake conference, our stake was split and 2 new wards were created. We are now a part of the newly created 25th ward! My whole neighborhood has been divided for quite some time so I'm excited that it's all back together again! Parts of Park View, Rock Hampton, the older Canyon Ridge, all of Zions Gate Homes and half of Zions Gate trailers make up the 25th.
To our surprise, the new stake president wanted to speak with me and Merril on Saturday night. Merril was asked to serve as the new 2nd counselor in the bishopric. This is the first time Merril's ever been in a bishopric.
Merril's Dad, Mark, was able to be here to ordain Merril to the office of high priest. Merril's Dad has served as second counselor in a bishopric before. Must run in the family.
I'm always amazed at how calm Merril can be in really nerve-wracking situations. I was excited and nervous and he was calm as can be. I'm hoping that calming influence will be useful when serving in this new calling.
I think the hardest adjustment will be sitting alone in sacrament meeting. At least I'll still be able to see him and wink at him.
