The 1st Counselor in our ward, the Santa Monica 3rd Ward, was called as a Stake High Counselor this past week which left a vacancy in the Bishopric. Brian was released as the 2nd Counselor and called to serve as the 1st Counselor to the Bishop. Mike Hammari is the new 2nd Counselor. Following the pattern of the past few years Mike is one of single fellows in the ward. After all of the callings were shifted around the Bishop commented that the Lord sure must have a sense of humor to assemble a group like ourselves. :)
