"What kind of favor?"
"I need you to come to Stake Conference with us, tomorrow."
The last time Mom called on a Saturday and asked us to come to church with them the next day, Dad got called as bishop. After dancing around the question with a "I can neither confirm nor deny" sort of answer, I kind of knew what was up. I asked someone to help in nursery, for me, but since there was an hour's difference in start times I went ahead and set up the toys before heading south to meet the rest of the family. And the answer is... 1st councilor in the Kyle Stake Presidency. Since the officers in neither of the stakes was know until yesterday, they didn't really know who to ask to give talks, so there were testimonies by each of the members of both the new presidencies and a talk by the 70 that came to do the calling. It was a good conference.
Best quote of the day: "Forming a new stake is a lot like trying change your spark plugs while driving at 70 mph."
President Ashford, Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Presidency of the Seventy, Stake President Allen, President Wharton, Elder James E. Martino

Wow! What a great calling for your dad. That's really neat.
And that quote reminds me of a lot of things the church did while I was on my mission. :) That's what having faith is sometime for!
