This past Sunday, Nov 7th, 2010 was extremely busy! Here in Avondale, AZ after six years and two months of service as Bishop of the Cold Water Ward, my husband was released as the Bishop. A new Bishop was called and sustained. It was a bitter sweet day for us. We have been used to serving 450 members in a variety of ways and it will be a bit sad to not be in that position; but on the other hand, Curtis is doing consulting work for Fluor Daniel out of Dublin, CA (near Oakland). He is only home on the weekends until Christmas. So he was wondering how he was going to manage tithing settlement, Christmas programs, etc... while being gone so much. I guess it is a good thing he had the entire last year off so he could be Bishop fulltime. He did so much during that time with so many single sisters needing help in our ward. He was a fix-it man, etc... Now I get to have him on Sunday mornings at home, sit with me at church - which I think has only happend a few times in our 35 1/2 years of marriage! At least...until his next call.
This was taken Sunday morning before Sacrament began with the changing of the Bishop.
Also, in Sparks, NV at the same time, our little Hunter was blessed. Oh we wanted to be there, but it is hard to be in more than one place at a time. Here is a photo of Serina and Nick holding him. What a cutie. Can't wait to see him at Thanksgiving. They are coming for a few days. YEA!!!
Then - you think! What else could be happening at the same time that we couldn't participate in. Our dear friend Tony Bach was sustained as Bishop of his ward in Tucson. Curtis and I have been involved in the Bach's entrance into church, their sealing, and now he is a Bishop! Those of you in Tucson who were able to be there and witness it - what a great day! One Bishop being released, another called at the same time! We wish the Bach a lot of joy as they serve in their ward.
