He will be looking like this more often....

Darren has gotten a new calling in the church that will require him to dress like this more often. What is it you ask...... The 2nd counsler in the bishopric, with Dave Gordon as bishop and Mike Gibson 1st counsler. This all happened right away for us. We knew that we would be getting a bishop on Sunday but during the week before church we hadn't heard anything. Then somethings came out and stuff. We went to Mesa for Mason's birthday and got home late friday night. Saturday the phone rings and it is a member of the stake presidency. So we knew right away what it was for. I was just shocked that they would take Darren out of being a High counsler and the Stake Youngmens President. Well the Stake President told us that he had a hard time with the decision to take him out but that he felt he should give the best to the wards. So we excepted and I cried ALOT. We are going to be out of town for the first Sunday that he will be in the bishopric but it might be alot harder to leave town now that he is in, so we will enjoy it. We are going to Washington to see Darren's brother and wife, Brandon & Amanda who just had their 3rd baby which was a girl. Mason is so excited that he gets to fly on an airplane. More to come on Washington:)
