An irresistible invitation from our daughter-in-law brought me to Prescott Arizona again for a “special event” yesterday. Our youngest son Quinn is the new bishop in their ward (congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). She was permitted to tell their children and me the night before, and the stake (several wards) president announced the new bishopric (including two counselors) in sacrament meeting the next morning. Following response by the former bishop and his wife, who were relieved after five years of service, Quinn and Barbara spoke briefly, sharing their love and testimony of truth. A joyful occasion, knowing our Kay, who is not far away, is proud of her worthy son.
Despite the comfort of a newer rental car, driving is a pain — a reason many tolerate flying. (Next time.) Nevertheless, the scenery in Arizona, topped by huge storm clouds, is amazing! Taking time, talking to local people, learning history, visiting family in country Kanab and forested Prescott ... all make this trip worthwhile.
