the thanks he gets

Kevin was released as Bishop of our ward 3 weeks ago. This past Tuesday night the Young Women invited all of the new bishopric and their wives and the former bishopric and their wives to a dinner. It was wonderful - yummy food, china, crystal goblets, the works.

The Young Women sang two original songs. The first was "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music and was directed to the former bishopric. The words were adapted to say things like "I'll never drink champagne" and "You'll still have to wear a suit and tie". It was great! The second song was "We're Off to See the Wizard" from The Wizard of Oz. Again words were adapted so they said "we're off to see the Bishop".

The Young Women then presented Kevin with this beautiful quilt made by a woman in our ward.
The Young Women had gone around the ward and collected signatures and messages from all the ward members.

It was quite a thank you!
