The Youngs

This is my Bishop and his wife Nancy and they are two fantastic people!

When I moved into this ward 5 months ago, I knew the first week that it was the right decision. Actually I already had a great impression on the ward based on the number of amazing women in the ward that work at the temple. I remember my first week at the temple, Sis. Young gave me a tour of the temple from top to bottom. I knew this was a special lady and when I found out that she was the wife of the Bishop of the DC 2nd Singles' Ward, I thought that I would really love to be in that ward. And by God's will and help, I moved in.

Bishop Young is so wonderful. He is incredibly funny, intensely spiritual, openly generous and has a heart of gold. He is a man of God that truly has a love for his calling and for each member of the ward. I don't know how someone could not feel and understand that.

Nancy has become such a good, sweet, and fun friend. I enjoy seeing her at the temple, at church and at FHE. Last month we gave her a fantastic surprise party for FHE; I could just feel the love our ward members have for her and for eachother. (This is a truly great ward!) Anyways, before the festivities, we asked her to get up and bear her testimony and it was so powerful. The room was mesmerized by her. Something that she said I will never forget. "More important than your job, than your school, than almost anything else in your life right now, is for you to focus on finding your eternal companion. That should be your main focus." When the ward mother speaks, we obey. :)

They are just so incredible and I feel extremely blessed to know them and to be associated with them. I can tell this is only the beginning of a beautiful time together.
