Oh what a Sunday...

So....this is our latest blessing/challenge/test. Saturday night Troy received a call from the stake presidencey(never a good thing). He wanted to meet with us Sunday before church. Uhhhh...talk about a no sleeper night! Mostly for me, I think Troy was in denial that it was anything to worry about. I kept thinking of all the things this could mean!! Holy crud!! SO....Sunday morning we went to church, and found lots of people roaming around. All three stake presidency members were there...Oh crud again!! Bad sign!! So we go in to meet with Pres Croshaw, and he gives us( I use that term cuz he cant have the calling without me agreeing as well!!), asks Troy if he will accept the call to be the 2nd counselor in our new bishopric!! It was a relief in a way, my fears brought out many other options, and this seemed pretty do-able! Anyway...so we had a wondeful meeting with our stake presidency there...it was fast sunday, but they asked the departing bishopric and wives to bear their testimonies, as well as the new counselors, Troy and Brother Marshall, and Bishop Waggoner and his wife to do so as well. It was such a spiritual neat meeting. We are really excited about this challenge ahead, as I know Troy will do great things. After church our family got to attend the setting aparts of everyone, which was also very spiritual and neat to experience and have our children witness as well. Troy recieved such a wonderful blessing. Troy is really looking forward to this new bishopric and the boost it will give our ward for a change. We are so grateful for our departing bishopric and all they did for our ward, but look forward to the future with excitement and nervousness both. I am so proud of Troy and the great man he is. I am so blessed to have him in my life, to be such an example and strength not only to me, but to our children and everyone that comes in contact with him. So please keep him and our family in your prayers as Im sure we will need it as we adjust to this change and adventure! Our family is so grateful to our Heavenly Father for watching over us and allowing us to grow and be refined through lifes experiences. We know this will be a wonderful blessing to our family.
