That's me. We've known for a couple of weeks, but it became official today. The last time my dad received the calling to be a bishop he moved. The story is more complicated than that -it involves new stake presidents, angry real estate agents and the church office building, but basically he got a bye. Or... at least a stay of execution.
This time the house wasn't on the market and they hadn't put on offer on another one, so he accepted. He did wonder a few times in the last few weeks how far he could get if he just got in his car and drove... but luckily he didn't follow through.
Poor grandpa. The grandkids will miss him around the house on Sundays, but I'm sure our family will be blessed for his service. And... if it doesn't kill him, I suppose it will only make him stronger!
