Life is full of surprises and new challenges. Sunday morning before church, Steve was called to be the new 1st counselor in our branch here. A two-year member of the church and former branch president from the Steamboat is the new president. His name is Erwin White and we've been teaching he and his wife the temple prep classes. He's a great man and has wonderful people skills. The Elders Quorum president, Brother Leroy Hardy is the new 2nd counselor. We've also gotten fairly well-acquainted with him and his large family.
The outgoing presidency consists of President Eugene Shorty, Kee Curley, and Patrick Preshlakai. They have been very good to work with and are really good men. We're sure they'll have plenty yet to do in the branch, as they have skills and wisdom we can all benefit from.
The Stake presidency (Dwaine Boone-center, Romero Brown, and Rudy Begay) were there for branch conference and delivered some powerful messages which should help us all as we work to build this branch so we can have a chapel addition. They also set apart the new presidency.
We're looking forward to working with them, and are hosting a get acquainted dinner party on Friday to help solidify the new presidency.
