"Thru Cloud and Sunshine, Lord, Abide with Me"
Reyna I. Aburto
"My dear sisters, it is normal to feel sad or worried once in a while. Sadness and anxiety are natural human emotions. However, if we are constantly sad and if our pain blocks our ability to feel the love of our Heavenly Father and His Son and the influence of the Holy Ghost, then we may be suffering from depression, anxiety, or another emotional condition."
We had three beef bulls in our yard this morning. Too bad they weren't bull elk maybe James would have been more welcoming.
Very windy today. Sacrament meeting is packed. The first thing that I noticed was that all of Kip and Alicia Hunsaker's kids and grandkids were in attendance. I whispered to James, "Kip Hunsaker is going to be the new bishop." I told Jean Howard who was sitting next to me and her comment was, "I think it's going to be brother Grapp."
I was right. Kip Hunsaker is the new bishop. President Beeler started out by saying that today is a special day. It is an opportunity for people to express gratitude to Bishop Miller and to raise their hands in support of the new bishop. He said the reason the bishop sits on the stand is not to put himself above others but to be a watchman on the tower and to look out at his congregation and think, "Who needs me today?"
There are certain responsibilities a bishop cannot delegate. One is his responsibility to the youth. When it comes to the calling of a bishop, the Lord speaks. The Lord has made His will known regarding the bishop of the Vernon ward. His name has been on the desk of President Russell M. Nelson.
Bishop Miller's release is bittersweet because he has served so diligently.
Anne Miller said a few words about peace and gratitude.
Bishop Miller testified that as a bishop, the Lord carries you. He said he has a friend that told him that the older he gets the more Christlike he wants to become. It becomes the most important thing in life. Bishop Miller said that has been true for him also.
Alicia Hunsaker said she supports her husband as the bishop with all of her heart.
Bishop Hunsaker said he asked the question when he was called: "Why me?" He thanked Bishop Miller and said he has loved serving in Primary. He thought he would die there. He asked us to be patient with him and give him a little time to "get into the groove."
Our closing song was "Nearer My God to Thee." It is Bishop Miller's favorite hymn. He sings it to his children every night before they go to bed.
Pam Wood taught Sunday School. I sat by Chris Brady and Katie Hahn.
I gave a pumpkin roll to the Howard's and the Wood's along with a Christmas card from us.
We FaceTimed with Jared, Kacey, and Charlie. Charlie was excited to see "papa."
James and I both sent email messages to our missionary, Elder Trezise.
