A week or two after moving to Salt Lake City we were called by our Stake President to serve in the Rio Grande Branch, which serves the people who live in The Road Home homeless shelter. The people we serve with in this calling are amazing.
Shelley is the Relief Society President, I am RS secretary and ward organist, Betsy is a service missionary, Carlisle is RS 2nd Counselor, and Becca is RS 1st Counselor.
Dave is Branch Clerk and Executive Secretary, Scott is 1st Counselor, Van is a service missionary, John (Pres. Garrett) is the Branch President, and Phil is 2nd Counselor.
We met at the Garrretts home for a cookout. There is one other missionary couple, the Stewarts, who serve with us. But they were not there that night. There are only the six couples who are not homeless. Everyone else in the branch lives at the homeless shelter. So far, since we only meet for Sacrament Meeting at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, we don't have any others who serve in callings in the branch. We are hoping to be able to get our own building to meet in this coming October. When we do that we will be able to hold other meetings as well. Even though we are moving back to Pleasant View soon, Dave and I have decided to continue to serve in this branch where we are so very needed.
