Relief Society 1st Councilor

This morning around 11 am, my phone rings. I don't recognize the number so I answer with a hint of unsurety in my voice. It's the bishop asking if I could come to church early, around 12:30-12:40 so he could talk with me. I had to pick some one up on my way there, so I gave her a call and arranged to meet her earlier than planned.
That done, eventually got ready, and was out the door by 12, and got to the church by about 12:30. I went to the bishop's office and waited a moment, then sat down with him. We chatted for a short time, then he informed me that the relief society was being reorganized, and that the new president suggested me for the first councilor. I accepted.
During sacrament, we were recognized by the ward, and after church we were set apart.

It's amazing what can happen in a few hours.
