A few weeks ago, Stacia was called as a memeber of the Young Women’s Presidency in church. As a result, she was released as a Sunday School teacher where we had both served for several years. I wasn’t released and was told that another brother was going to be my partner. My new partner is Kris Colt. A few things about brother Colt…
- My family lived about a block from the Colt family when I was about 8 years old.
- After we moved from Boise to Idaho Falls then to Del Rio Texas (Air Force), back to Middleton, ID and back to Boise where I had a house built and then was called as a scout leader and served with his younger brother Brett Colt. (Who beat me in the 100 yard dash in grade school)
- Kris Colt was the first councilor in the Stake Presidency and was released to become my partner teaching Sunday School.
- While he was in the Stake Presidency, I was his last Temple Recommend interview before he was released.
- Kris Colt and Chris Cope, what a duo!
It is a bit intimidating being his partner since he was a bishop for five years plus being in the Stake Presidency. We are taking turns, he has the first Sunday and I’m in charge of the third. Since the first is fast Sunday, I tell him that I have “treat” Sunday. We’ll see how it goes!
