wow! I too think he will be a great bishop. I am little shocked though with news...the Arlington Ward was a giant family...it was our giant family for three short years...

Thanks for posting the news, Ellen.

I miss the linger longers and now if we go back to visit, we'll just have to linger longer at two places!
