Our Bishop

This story is hear-say but I will try to tell it the way it was told to my mother-in-law who told it to me...

Joseph's dad is a bishop in our ward and once in a while he comes in to the primary and teaches the kids about principles of the gospel.  He has tried to keep this up despite his vertigo and the fact that he got hit by a car.  This past Sunday he was teaching the primary kids and Evie, while sitting on the front row, spent the entire time trying to wave at her grandpa.  He finished up and left and the primary president was reviewing with the kids about the priesthood.  Paraphrasing she said, "We are grateful that we have the bishop with us and that is because of the priesthood.  Did you know the bishop has a name? Does anyone know the bishop's name."
Evie could hardly contain herself.  She knew the answer to this question!!! She jumps out of her chair and yells, "Ba-pa!!" Meaning "Grandpa!"
There are props to being in the same ward as your grandpa.  If he becomes the bishop you will know all the right answers.
