So, word has it that Sunday (today, really) I'll be released by the Stake Presidency. I wanted to take this opportunity to let you all know that it has been an honor and a pleasure to serve in this ward and in this capacity as the EQP for the past 4-ish years. I can't begin to enumerate the things I have learned or the ways in which I have changed (I think for the better) as a result of this opportunity. I find it hard to think of simple things I have learned here - largely because, if they were simple, we'd all know them by now from reading them or hearing others tell us about them.

I will miss you guys and hope to stay in touch. It's not as though I'm leaving town, just changing wards. I also want to take a moment to thank Christian Johnson, my steadfast counsellor and good friend. When I was first called as the EQP years ago, I knew nothing about what I'd be doing or what to do, so I fasted and came up with two names for counsellors. Christian was the first name that popped into my head and he has been a wonderful counsellor. I also know I need to mention what a blessing it has been to serve under Bishop Metcalf, whose wisdom and guidance has been a tremendous source of strength for me over the past years.
Anyway, it's time for me to move on and I know that the guys that are called to succeed me will be inspired to lead the quorum to greater heights of spiritual development. I am grateful to have had this wonderful opportunity and hope you all realize what a blessing it is to associate with such remarkable people.
