The Bishop

Larry has been Bishop now for over 3 1/2 years. There are a lot of good and hard things that come with this responsibility. But my favorite part of being the Bishop's wife is the youth firesides we have at our house every few months. We move all the family room furniture out and filled the whole room with folding chairs. Last Sunday the priests brought over 70 chairs. I thought for sure there was no way all 70 would be filled and let Larry know my opinion. He said the would be. But I was absolutely sure they wouldn't and made him a bet.






So far so good for me.
TJ decided he should take his post just outside the door so he could greet everyone as they came in.



Well true to "Mormon Standard Time" the youth started showing up right at five. And they filled every chair. I am so impressed with the youth of today. They are so kind and respectful. It truly is a honor to have them in my home.


I had the post the following picture. It is our second councilor giving his talk with his Kindle. The Kindle is my newest favorite gadget. I love it.



Well the kids loved the Fireside. And I did lose the bet with Larry. And he let all the youth know that he won. But I am glad he did. I wish he would have put up one hundred chairs!
