December 26th

Sister Belva Driscoll did a wonderful job today putting together a Christmas program and several musical numbers.  I love one of her comments.  She said, "I appreciate them (meaning those asked to participate in today's program) so much.  When I asked them to take part in the program, they told me "yes" even though their eyes told me "no"." 

SUSTAININGS:

Brother Murdock released and sustained several people today.  They are as follows:

Angela Tidwell - Primary Teacher
Susan Daoud - Primary Teacher
Cindy Hafen - Primary Teacher
Jamie Nava - Primary Teacher
Karen Chatlein - Primary Teacher
Tara Hansen - Primary Music Leader
Heidi Bates - Ward Choir Director
Bryce Wengren - 16/17 year old Sunday School Teacher
Colton Michaelis - 16/17 year old Sunday School Teacher
Tiffany Black - Gospel Doctrine Teacher
Bobby Ingram - Gospel Doctrine Teacher
Claudia Pranter - Compassionate Service Leader

Perhaps the funniest part of all came when Brother Murdock got back up shortly after sitting down and said, "I know of at least one mistake.  I forgot to sustain Sister Murdock as the Miamaid Leader."  :  )
