Scouting is no longer a calling in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but there was a time when it was – which is still a sore subject for some. I remember when Richard had been called to be a scout leader for the primary youth. He was told that it would be a five year calling. I don’t think he was in for even a year before he called to be first counselor in the Elder’s quorum.
I think it
was just April of this year that Richard had been called as a Sunday School
teacher for the 11-14 year-olds. In July
he was called to be the Sunday School president. Just now he was called as first Counselor in
the priesthood quorum. Wow. I wonder who the new Sunday School president
will be?
It’s funny
how it seems there are some people stuck in callings as though it is a lifetime
position and there are others that are released before they’ve had much
opportunity to even be recognized as having ever served in that position. Richard is great at accepting callings
regardless of position. He seems to
serve his position longest when he has been second counselor. Interesting.
