Today was a sad and joyous day. Our little group met another milestone. Our dearly beloved President Campbell and his counselors were released today and new ones called. It has been eight years for President Campbell in this little branch. Longer than normal for most. We will miss his leadership.
I knew right away when I walked into church that something was up when EVERY member of the Stake presidency was on hand.
So, for me, it was kind of sad, but heartwarming as well.
I just love President Campbell,( but he now says that his name is Brother Campbell...LOL...)
Isn't there something that says "Once a Bishop, always a Bishop? Same goes for President, I think!!!!
Anyway, he has a way about him and everyone that meets him knows that he loves the Saviour and he loves people. A very special man indeed and I am very grateful for all of the time and energy that he has spent on our behalf for the eight past years. Just let me say, Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I do know and believe that the Lord does truly know and call the right men to lead and guide us, thus, today, the new Presidency of our little branch was called, sustained and set apart. I know that all of them will do their utmost to carry out their duties and obligations to carry out little branch into the next few years.
So, now the reins of our little branch goes to....................Mike Morrow (in the middle) with his counselors, Jerry Stone (on the left) and Chris Wood(in the right). All very capable men who will follow the Lord's will and with His guidance, help our little branch to grow.
Now we have lots of things to get accomplished in the next few weeks. the building is coming right on along. (Got to get over there tomorrow and take more pictures) Stay tuned for more updates on the building this week....................................
