You know there is going to be a change in church when you show up and the whole Stake Presidency is sitting in the stands. This week was a weird one already with the boys horse dying and Weston spraining his hand, but yesterday was the cake topper. It was so nerve racking you could hear a pin drop and everyone was sweating and hearts were pounding. President Baker made the announcement yesterday that they were splitting 1st ward and sending the chosen ones to 3rd ward! You would've thought he was asking all of us to pack up and move to Missouri. The tears were rolling and hearts were heavy. They took the good ones: Both Oneill's, The Tuckers, The Hursts, The Earl's, The Stevers, The Plates and a couple of the cool new families that just moved in. And he wasn't finished...to top it off he changed our bishopric. So I would just like to take a minute and dedicate a little note of appreciation to Bishop Tucker. You will be missed!!! When we first moved into this ward they released Bishop Poth and put in Bishop Tucker. Bishop Tucker has helped us through our process of getting adapted to our new surroundings. He has been awesome in helping us feel welcome and always had such good and inspirtational things to say to us to keep us hopeful and uplifted. So thankyou Bishop for 3 wonderful years! May you reign supreme in 3rd ward!!And Congratulations to our new Bishopric: Brother Ryan Tolley as Bishop; Brother Palmer as 1st couselor; and Brother Chuck Merrell as 2nd Counselor. Lead us home my good brothers.
We chose to bring back the same theme as last year : " A Cowboy Christmas". Decorated with small minature cowboy hats, saddles, horseshoes and cowboy boots, rustic colored stars and balls, finished off with gollden lights and shimmering garland and topped with an authentic Cowboy Hat, our tree is definetly a seasonal symbol of the Noyes family!
