And it came to pass.....

.....that Matt has been called to serve as the 1st Counselor in the

Monroe 4th Ward Bishopric.

(I just had to steal that title and first line, along with the photo from

Matt's mom's blog...THNX!)

Yeah, we thought he was feeling a little overwhelmed before...HaHaHa!! We were definitely surprised by this call, considering the fact that we moved to Monroe a mere 3 months ago. It just goes to show that the Lord is all knowing, and when we trust in Him and follow the promptings of the Spirit amazing things can happen. It is something you never really hope for and you wonder how you will ever survive it. But the sense of peace that comes over you and the increase in Spirit that abounds is just AWEsome!! And when I already had so much love and admiration for my husband that I couldn't imagine loving him any more, it increased ten fold. To see him as a servant of the Lord and putting all his trust in Him has been very inspiring. I am so grateful for the wonderful man I get to spend eternity with!! I know our lives will be greatly blessed because of his service.
