Who are we:
Mark {Bishop}
Kim {Education Counselor in Relief Society}
N {son #1 somewhere just south of a Deacon}
D {son #2 somewhere just north of Baptism}
We live in the Pacific Northwest. Mark is coming up on his second year of being the Bishop of our ward. This is his second stint. The first time he only lasted about 18 months and then we had to move. I tell him that if he leaves before his time is up this time, the Lord will send a whale to get him. So, we're here - as long as the Lord wants us to be. Or, as I told our Stake President (who mentioned casually that there isn't a 5-year time limit anymore and that Mark could be Bishop for YEARS), we're here until he sees me with an ankle tattoo and that's my signal that it's time to release my husband.
This isn't really a "family blog" as much as it is a blog to talk about the challenges of two young sons, a calling in the Relief Society and a Bishop in the house (well, he's not in the house much anymore). It's definitely one of the most challenging places to be in the church, but it also comes with the greatest blessings.
Hopefully this blog will help you understand a little more about being LDS if you're not and a little more about how you can support your Bishop and his family if you are.
