Bishop Howes shared a spiritual experience he had several years ago. He was driving home contemplating about accepting a job offer he just received that would require moving out of state. The spirit prompted him not to accept the job as he was going to be called as a Bishop in his ward. He didn't accept the job, but stayed in Sandy, OR. Two years later he was called to serve as Bishop.

June 7th a training was held for the new Bishopric by Presidents Lewis and Baird. Vivienne did a training with the wives.
