I enjoy all the Menrichments we do, and helping people move is okay. I have a few guys who are getting involved again because of the activities and one perspective Elder who is on his way to being an Elder. I remember him as a youth when he left the church. He got married and the wife stayed with his family while he fulfilled his military responsibilities. She joined and brought him back. He is a great kid, and they are a great family to have.

My favorite calling is a tie between Adult Sunday School teacher or youth sst. I would go back to one of those callings in an instant.

My favorite calling has to have been Scoutmaster though. I was released today and am not sure quite how to feel.

I’m also glad I was able to convince my priesthood leaders why I wasn’t.

It actually worked a few times.

I guess the bishop thought that qualified me to be a High Priest because i was called as his councilor.

EQP was my favorite calling.
