Flashback Friday

This picture of Gerald, his parents, his grandmother, and Katelee was taken in April 2006.  

This day was significant because it was the day that Gerald was called to be the Elder's Quorum president in our ward here in Lehi.  

Those of you who aren't in our ward may not know that Gerald was released a couple of weeks ago from this calling.  Almost three years of service in that calling.  He did an amazing job.  As his wife, I know how hard he worked and how much he cared about the people he served.  He has grown a lot and I am very proud of him.  

Gerald has one of the most stalwart and pure hearts I have ever known.

One of the great things about Gerald is that he loves to serve, but he doesn't care how he serves.  Since we have been married, he has served as the ward librarian, in the young mens program, in the elder's quorum, in our student ward bishopric, as a ward missionary, or as a teacher all with equal sincerity and dedication.  During those in-between times when he didn't have a calling, Gerald volunteered to serve in any capacity he could.  When he says that every calling is equally important in the church, Gerald truly believes that.  I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for him next.  But I have no doubt that Gerald will do a great job, no matter what the calling is.
