"Tara this is so-and-so from the Stake and I was hoping you and Howard would be able to meet with a member of the Stake Presidency tomorrow morning. Can you call me back and let me know if that's something you'll be able to do?"
Yikes. We knew what was in store. So, I call the guy back and tell him we'll meet with them the next morning.
So...long story short...Howie got called to the position of 1st Counselor in a Branch Presidency! And I got called as a Branch Helper. This is one of those rare callings where we'll get to serve together as husband and wife. I couldn't be happier! I could tell Howie was hesitant, but he accepted it. We attended our new branch that day and we are so excited for this opportunity. The branch is in an Assisted Living Center and the attendees are all quite old. But they are all very kind and very appreciative of everything. As soon as we walked into that room for the first time I was absolutely overwhelmed with The Spirit. My heart felt so full and I just knew that we were meant to be there. I'm so grateful for this calling and I believe it is an answer to my prayers.
I'm so proud of Howie. He is my sweetheart.

Wow!!! That is so cool. What a unique opportunity to serve together.
Wahooooo! This is such a fabulous opportunity for both of you! Those types of messages do make you nervous though, especially when they're wanting you to meet w/ the stake presidency! :)
