After 5 years 4 months of faithful service, Robert Michael Breitling was released as bishop of the Draper River View 2nd Ward today. The sacrament meeting was very spiritual and the farewell talk that he gave was exceptional. What an amazing, choice man our ward was blessed to have as bishop. The picture you see shows him with his first counselor and his wife, who are the new bishop and mother of our ward. We have a great love for them and know that they will serve faithfully with an eye single to the building of the Lord's kingdom. There have been many faith-building experiences throughout this time and we are grateful for the opportunity we have had to work with such a wonderful ward. When Mick was called to the position of bishop I was told that it was a calling extended to both of us. The work has always been done by him and the weight has been his to bear, but I am grateful that I have been able to serve in the capacity of his companion. It is an experience like no other. Watching him grow in his love for the Lord and his dedication to doing what is right has been so wonderful. Of course he and I will continue to do our best to serve in whatever capacity the Lord has in store for us with grateful hearts that this gospel is one of love and service to each other. Robert, Andrea, Jordan, Brendan, Trevor, Dad and Mom Breitling, Barbara and Mark were with us today and we are so grateful for their love and support. We truly feel blessed beyond measure.

I am very thankful to be blessed with wonderful parents. Dad, you have been a great example to me in so many ways. I know the transition in church callings will be difficult at times. We hope to see some progress on the train room with the extra time that you now have.
KEEP SMILING!
