The mantle of a Bishop

 Last week Jake and the boys participated in their second “Polar Campout” with temperatures in the 20’s. I decided to do iniatories and then invited several sisters to meet for Mexican since it was just me at home (Ginny went to Nashville and was driving the Prius back). At dinner, one of the sisters shared she was moving. Sunday after church, Jake and I were making visits and he shared with one of the elderly people we visit how the Spirit had been working in the back for several weeks. With the sudden news of the family moving (they were only given 2 weeks notice), they already had the change in callings or names to recommend planned (one is seminary). He continued to share another example of the Spirit permeating the work with primary goals shared in ward council aligning in the sane order goals had been set to work with the youth….meaningful prayer, scripture study, and then service. 

The Lord is working through him and my testimony continues to grow seeing him and hearing his experiences. I have heard the bishop’s wife is very lonely and often a silent casualty but I’ll take it any day to have my testimony strengthened.
