The Stake Report

We had a chance to run by and see Elder Nate Dukatz.  He and Justin had their farewells on the same day and he returned from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania mission the same week Justin returned.  While visiting that day, it was mentioned that the missionaries would be giving their reports to the Stake Presidency and the High Council that next morning at 7:30 am.  After talking to the Stake Executive secretary, he confirmed that Justin would be giving his report then too. 

There is nothing like walking into that High Council room and having all the men arise.  It happened at happy times in my life - like when I was serving as a member in the Stake Primary Presidency.  And it happened at sad times - like when my marriage was dissolving.  I feel such love and respect for the men who stand out of that same love and respect. 

Justin was happy to see his old friend Paul Willis there as well.  President Dibble asked each Elder to state their name, their ward, their future plans, and tell an experience that showed something they learned while on their missions.  Once again, another spiritual and humbling experience.
