I had a good talk with Bishop today where I gave him a list of eight names I was considering. During our talk he nixed one name (because that particular brother is especially engaged in his current calling – this was not unexpected for me). Also as we talked I felt confident about the best place for Spencer Nelson – I would have loved him as a counselor, but his present circumstances are somewhat precarious vocationally so as much as Bishop and I admire him I plan to ask for him as an instructor rather than as a counselor. I also asked Bishop if I should attend the stake priesthood leadership meeting on Sunday and he said that would be a good idea – based on what he said I am fairly confident that the current Elder’s quorum presidency is not yet aware of the pending change.
As of now I am pretty sure I know who I will recommend as my secretary (Alex Monson) but I am still trying to settle on who the counselors will be of the other five brethren. It has been a very comfortable process and I look forward to having my presidency and getting started serving the quorum.
