He has been the elders' quorum president in our ward for a little more than two years now. For the non-Mormons out there, that means he leads the men in the congregation who are basically under 40 - 45 years old.
There are two other wards in our town. The elders' quorum in each is now headed by one of G's former counselors. So it's kind of like he's training the leaders for the other congregations in town. He also did a home teaching workshop in stake leadership training last month that people are still raving to him about.
He is the EQP with the golden touch. He doesn't want to be proud of this, he knows he shouldn't be, but he kind of is.
I am the wife, so I just get to be proud without feeling too guilty about it. Haha. On to other funny stuff about G.
He was going to be Captain Underpants for Halloween, but we didn't get the flesh-colored unitard in time. Actually we didn't get it at all, and I told him if he just went in his altogether no one would believe he was naked. They would think he was wearing a fur coat. So he was Davy Crockett instead -- lucky for him I went to the Alamo, or he wouldn't have had a costume at all. Note the cell phone. He's a very modern kind of Davy Crockett. Also hot. Woo!
But then when we did our brief TOT'ing after the church party, noooooobody was smiling at Davy Crockett. And we started considering, dressing up as a guy who fights Mexicans is maybe not such a hot idea in our part of the country. Let's think on that.
So next year Captain Underpants may just visit the stake Trunk or Treat party.
(If he goes to a stake party mostly naked, will he get out of his calling? The question remains.)

Dude, he didn't fight the Mexicans he fought whitey when they were trying to screw the indians!!
At the Alamo they were fighting the Mexican army. Probably led by Spaniards or something, but you know. Santa Ana and all that. I was getting a little scared what with my first name being, well, you know.
He he he he...you guys make me laugh. I do think that being mostly naked at a stake function might raise some eyebrows, but the stake there probably needs a good controversy every now and then. I say go for it!!
It's a nice compliment that people realize that your husband has been able to magnify his calling and touch other people's lives in a powerful way. He sounds like a keeper.
Very cute post - I love the husband bragging!
