Moving forward

Due to the incredible generosity of some sweet friends, this past weekend Jacob and I were able to fly back to Boston for him to be released as bishop and to see the new bishop of our wonderful ward being called. We were literally in Massachusetts for only 24 hours and it was worth every second.

Like I mentioned earlier, Jacob serving as the bishop of our ward in the Boston area made the prompting and decision to move to Utah incredibly difficult. So while it was a hard day, it was also an amazingly sweet day.

And not just because the new bishop is a man that we have admired from the moment we moved to the East Coast. He is good and kind and is exactly who the Lord wants to serve as bishop of the ward we have come to love so deeply. We are just sad we won't be there to witness what his humility and goodness will do for the ward and for his family.

How we will miss our ward members in Massachusetts. Yes, we know it is right for us to be in Utah at this time, but neither Jacob or I were prepared to feel the depth of sadness we have felt at leaving our friends from church. But as always happens, life moves on and everything will be fine. Especially our hearts. Which have started to feel like they are healing since our trip to Boston.

We are so grateful.
