But yesterday at around eight am we met with our Stake president and he called Scott to be in the Bishopric of our ward. He is the Second counselor. We were not taken completely off guard because we knew we were getting a new bishopric.. and when you get a call to meet with the stake presidency... both of you... your mind begins to wander.
We were thinking that it would be a clerk or secretary position so counselor was a bit of a shock. Our church began at 11:30 and the morning seemed to crawl by. Scott was nervous and overwhelmed. It is an interesting experience watching your husband be so humbled by his calling. My love for him grew so much immediately.
I just love Scott so much. And I know he will do such a great job. I love that he is so willing to serve. When the Stake president asked us if we were willing to serve... we both said yes... and then he asked "no matter what the calling?" And we both laughed and said yes. I love that Scott and I have that understanding. We will serve... both of us. Not matter what the calling. I know that we will be blessed.
So we got out of church at 2:30 and he spent about six hours after church in training. It really wasn't so bad. I know that it is the first of Many lonely Sunday's . Luckily I have my Abs to hang out with. I think the weirdest part is that my husband... at 30 is already a high priest. And Me, at 27 is a high priests wife. So strange. My mom was 28 with four little kids when my dad was called as Bishop. I guess my situation is a cake walk in comparison.
So yesterday was a big day. And I think both of us are feeling great!
