New Calling

Matt received a new calling this weekend. He was called to be the first counselor in the bishopric. It's kind of funny that the night before we went in to meet with the stake president, I had a dream about who would be in our bishopric. After he asked Matt if he would accept the calling, he asked if we wanted to know who our new bishop would be. Of course we said yes. When he told us who it was I gasped, because that is who I dreamed about. I dreamed the counselors in the right order, too. I have been calling our new bishop "bishop" for 2 months. I have been teasing him and his wife for quite some time, and they have been teasing Matt as well. His poor wife gets horrible sick when she is pregnant, and she has to get IV's several times a week. I have never met anyone who gets as sick as she does. I think because of this, she thought the calling of bishop was not even a possibility. They sure have a lot going on, but he will be an amazing bishop. He is great with the youth, and will be great for our ward as well. I am excited for our new bishopric. (Except for Sacrament meeting I may be giving mean looks to them, since Camden is not always the perfectly well behaved 3 year old you'd expect him to be. :) ha ha!)

Matt's dad was able to set him apart as a high priest. It was really neat to have him able to do that. Since he is a convert, he hasn't been able to do that for any of Matt's other ordinances, setting apart, etc. It was very special to have him there, to do that.

One more funny thing- Matt dreamed before this that he would be called to be the 3rd counselor. :) He dreamed that they asked him to keep doing his stake calling as well. We laughed, until he got an email from a counselor in the stake presidency this week. He asked him to keep doing his stake calling, since they haven't thought about his replacement yet. Ahhhh,,,,, Dreams really do come true :) Hopefully he won't need to have both for too long of a time! :)
