Fast and Speedy Trip!

 

David found out last Wed. that we was being called to be the 2nd Counselor in the Bishopric. My first reaction was SHOCK. It seems like people are taken into the bishopric from the Elders Quorum. But what do I know? Obviously nothing. Pres. Peterson told David that he could call his dad to come and ordain him a High Priest.

 

I told him that Bob and Linda had just left THAT DAY to go to Ginger and Justin's house in Alabama and I was sure Bob wouldn't be able to make it for the ordination. David still wanted to call his parents and tell them about his calling. Well, Bob Crawford is such a good, sweet, kind, loving father and wanted to be there for David. It made me BURST into tears when I heard he was coming out to be there for him. He flew in on Saturday night and left Monday morning... what a gem! I have learned so much from this man. I am SO grateful he is my Father in Law. I actually just call David's parents "mom and dad" cuz I feel like they are my parents too. (Along with my own parents of course) What's wrong with having 2 sets of parents? More love, right?

 

David felt REALLY overwhelmed when he was first called. I think the obvious reaction is to see all your weaknesses and insecurities...but after lots of prayer and meditation, he is ready to go to work and serve the Lord. Here are Bob and David in the evening after all the events had taken place. I couldn't help but capture the moment! Like father, like Son! (in more ways than one!) Hey, that rhymed!
