Saturday, the day before Easter, Bill was asked to meet with Elder Robbins, of the first quorum of the seventy and Elder Natress, of the second quorum of the seventy. They were interviewing brethren for the YSA 2nd Stake President. Bill was convinced that they would not call him to that position because he is very much NOT an administrator. He does everything he can to get out of doing paper work whether it's church or work. Besides he so much loves the young adults in his ward and told me often that that calling was an eternal one. He called me after the interview still convinced that he would not be called. About 20 min later he called back and said that President Tingey, the Stake President who was being released, called and said that they would be at our home in 15 min. Gratefully, I had been cleaning house all morning....Whew!
Elder Robbins and Elder Nattress were so kind. They called Bill and of course Bill said, "Yes" amid the tears that sprang to his eyes as he thought of not being Bishop over the young adults anymore.
We attended the Saturday night meeting for Stake Conference and the Sunday morning session. What a wonderful blessing to be a the feet of those called to serve and teach full time. I could have listened to Elder Robbins all day. He has such a wonderful spirit about him. Elder Nattress does too, but you can just feel Elder Robbins experience and knowledge.
Bill will have an adjustment but he is always ready and willing to do the Lord's will. It will be a great growing experience for him. He asked Kelly Laga to be 1st councilor and Bill Green to be 2nd councilor. They will be awesome!
