Today Elders Uchtdorf  and Olsen came to the Mesa North Stake and released us as a stake

 

presidency and called a new one. In the church even in very visible callings you need not get

 

an over inflated sense on your importance as you will be replaced and the church will go on just

 

fine in your absence.

 

It is one of the miracles of the church to see two brethren who do not know anyone in the

 

stake come for two days, reorganize the stake, fly out, and the church goes on almost as if

 

nothing happened.

 

In addition to the wonderful spiritual messages Elder Uchtdorf has a sharp sense of humor that

 

endeared him to his listeners. After twenty seven and half years I will get to sit with my wife

 

again in sacrament meetings.
