I hate it when I say things that I know will not apply tomorrow. See previous entry. I love church, I have friends who care deeply for me, and I am useful to people and they do appreciate me.
Now that that's out of the way -
We got a whole new bishopric today. It was an extremely emotional meeting. I got there and already felt like I was going to cry. I will extremely miss Bishop and Sis Gilgen, and Bro and Sis Pace and Brother Miller. Sister Pace and Sister Gilgen both got up and spoke and I cried.
At the same time, Brother Nigh got called as our new Bishop. Which means Sister Nigh is our new Bishop's Wife. I can't really explain how exciting this is. Sister Nigh is my institute teacher, I've been to her house to watch movies, the Sun Prairie missionaries live with her, she is seriously an amazing woman. I'm so excited that she's here now!
So the whole time I'm trying to decide whether to cry because I'll miss the Gilgens, or start giggling like a sixth grader because I'm so happy to see the Nighs. It didn't help at all that I'd look back and forth between Beki who was laughing, Juanita who was sobbing, and Chaz who was completely falling asleep. I was just as much of a mess this morning as I was last night, but in a completely different way.
Anyway, I'm glad I did go to church today. Something told me I should be there to sustain the new bishopric, and I'm glad I did.
Now I've got to bake some potatoes and practice the piano.
