And a few people CONGRATULATED me. I don't understand congratulating people for getting a calling. Congratulating someone is in a much smaller sense, throwing a party for them to celebrate an achievement. Did Elder Cook's family throw a huge bash celebrating his call as an apostle?

About six or seven months ago they called two new counselors into the bishopric in my old ward. One of the guys got up and started giving the equivalent of an Oscar acceptance speech.

My wife works as an assistant to estate planning attorney, huge BYU fan and I believe completely active (I say this to infer that the guy doesn't have animosity towards the church). Somehow this guy has been able to duck big callings (bishopric, stake presidency, high council). I need to sit down with him and find out his secret before it's too late.
