The dashing guy in the suit? Oh, well that is my husband! A few weeks ago there was a sale and a coupon that caused us to go shopping. Chad needed a suit for the upcoming residency interview season. The plan was to not let this suit see the light of day unless he was interviewing until they were all over. That plan changed when shortly there after he was called to be in the bishopric of our ward. We had been speculating with the rest of the ward about who the new councilor would be. We had it wrong. Because Chad would now need to be a High Priest to fulfill his calling we were able to get Chad's dad out for a short visit to ordain him! As another bonus to the situation, the weekend that Dad Williams was able to come out was also the weekend that a special Stake Conference was called. Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the quorum of the twelve apostles, and Elder Cook of the seventy came and spoke to us. At the end, Elder Chistofferson invited all of the youth and children to come shake his hand. Chad and I took Aimee and Porter up, which meant that we too got to meet a prophet, seer, and revelator of God. It has been a big weekend so far! We also know that there will be a lot of crazy weekends to come, but I for one am grateful. Just before the former 1st councilor was released, I was talking to his wife. She said she was a little nervous for the release because their family has been so blest. As we are preparing for the next phase in our lives, residency, we can use all of the blessing we can get. Chad is a worthy Priesthood holder, and an amazing father and husband, and will do a great job. I am so grateful that our family will have this opportunity to learn and grow!

Congratulations williams family! Your family will be even better but you, may be slightly more tired. Chase has been in our bishopric since January- many people expressed condolences to us because of the new time commitment (being a busy PhD student and part time working mom), but we have found ourselves on our knees thanking Heavenly Father for all the blessings and growth- I've just been so happy and blessed since the night he got called. So instead of telling you "good luck" I say- "phew! Good thing!"
ReplyDeleteWow! You didn't say anything when we met at the Trail Center! What a great secret. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's quite a compliment to your amazing little family and what you can take! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat is so great! Chad is an awesome guy and I know he will do a great job in this calling. Your family will be blessed!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You will both be so great for the calling. :) Brings backs some memories too-Jeff ended up being ordained a high priest during med school for the same reason. It's busy, but a blessing at the same time. Good luck on the upcoming year. Does Chad know what he wants to go into yet? Did I tell you we're in SD now? Just a couple hours away, in fact, we'll be in Omaha June 18th for the temple. It would be so fun to see you sometime!
