New Calling . . .

I believe it was President Monson that made the comment, "Besides the Bishop, the Young Men's organization is where we put some of our greatest men." (not really an actual quote because I can't seem to find what I'm looking for - but you get the gist of it) ~~~~ Scott has a new calling . . . Stake Young Mens first counselor! Most family and friends know that Scott has been involved with Young Men for about the past 14 years! He can't seem to get away from it. But in all honesty . . . he's amazing with them. When we lived in Connecticut (when this whole Young Mens journey began) he was called to be a Scout Master. We had a good laugh over it because his father was a scout master. It seemed he was following in his father's footsteps. The scouting program in the Woodbridge, CT ward was in shambles. It was barely a skeleton of a troop that he had to work with. My amazing husband took it and ran with it. From those humble beginnings nearly every single one of those young men earned their Eagle Scout! The Sunday before we moved up to Vermont, they presented Scott with a plaque that said "Scoutmaster, a hero, a friend". There were many tears shed.

I missed it! Camille had the chicken pox.

In Vermont he served as Young Mens President, scout master, and other various callings in Young Mens. In South Jordan, UT he served again in the Young Mens program. Besides a few short stints in Primary and as the Assistant Ward Clerk, he's always been in Young Mens. I guess the Lord really likes the work he's done so far. So He's raising the bar . . . now it's at the Stake level. I have no doubts that Scott will be an amazing counselor and do an awesome job. He never ceases to amaze me!
