Bishopric Picnic

Matt's been in the singles ward bishopric for almost a year now. We have loved getting to know the Orton's & the Hall's better through this calling and have really enjoyed spending time with many of the ward members as well.

Sadly for us here in NYC, the H's are moving to Southern California at the end of the month for grad school, so we decided to have one more bishopric day-o-fun before they left. We opted for a picnic this past Saturday. It was hothothot (but not so bad in the shade). We had yummy food, dancing music from neighboring picnickers, and great company. We brought a couple of kites (one that has been sitting in our closet for months, and another that was a gift from some friends) and had some good kite-flying fun with only one tree incident.

This is me with Emily O & Tamara H. And although I don't get to spend a ton of time with either one of them, they have still taught me so much through their examples and faith. They are remarkable women and it has been *fun* to hang out in the singles ward with them!

Here is the bishopric. Matt, Erik O & Doug H.
