Week 10.

Sister Mary Bridget. Bridget has faithfully served as my second counselor, chief advisor, helper-in-any-pinch, best camp and youth conference buddy, gentle nudger, and general reminder of all important things, champion of flossing, ever-dependable and always-there-without-question leader, cheerleader, simplifier, and all-around-true-friend, through the busy days of my service as Young Women's president. This week she was released. How I love her. I am so thankful for this righteous and wise counselor who has made me laugh, made me keep working harder, and even, at times, made me humble. It has been an absolute joy to work and serve alongside her for the past couple of years. She so fits the description of a perfect counselor that's found in Exodus: "But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun." I'm afraid I shall never be quite as "steady" without her.
