I am really glad to see a new Bishop with such a great vision. Glad to have such a great leader.
Thanks, James.
Great leadership this weekend! WE will move forward more clearly because of your caring, thorough energy for the church.
The time away with the staffs of the Conferences was a great investment in our future.
