Bishopric

About a month ago I had this crazy feeling that the bishopric was going to be changing in the ward and I felt very strongly that Ben would be put in. Which made almost no sense considering the ages of the children and Ben just turning 30. I told Ben about my feeling, but he just pushed it aside like it was nothing. Then about 3 weeks ago we got the call from the Stake President. We went in for the interview and took all 3 kids which I will never do again. Ben took the boys in with him to visit with the stake president while I took Sadie to visit with the counselors. I could hear the boys screaming in the other room with Ben. Eventually we all met together and when the stake president asked if he would be willing to except the calling of the 2nd counselor in the Clinton 14th ward bishopric I began to laugh. His face turned red and he was speechless. Which made me think it was even funnier. During all of this the boys where whining and we were having a hard time keeping the kids under control. Then I asked him who he was going to call to sit by me during sacrament meeting. When we were wrapping things up Sadie says "I need to go potty". At that point they said okay we will let you go.
Ben has been very positive about serving in his new calling. I'm still adjusting to not having him around as much and I'm not looking forward to 9:00 church with no help to get the kids ready, but I know as we make these sacrifices our family will be blessed.
