Birthday and Bishop

Eric got made bishop of our ward just a few days before his birthday. To celebrate his birthday, the young men and young women of the ward heart-attacked our house. On each of the hearts they wrote a personal note to him. It was very thoughtful and he really appreciated it. As far as the bishop part,(I am dating this on his birthday, but am posting it about a month later), it has been about a month now, and he still feels a little overwhelmed and sometimes too busy. But, he is willing to do whatever the Lord wants him to do, and do it to his best ability. I appreciate him so much for his dedication and sacrifice to the Lord and the gospel. For us, it will mean less time with him at home, but we have already seen blessings for his service.
