In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Bishop is the Lord’s shepherd who cares for the temporal and spiritual welfare of his flock (a ward). He plays a critical role in the earthly and eternal happiness of his ward members. Tonight I give thanks for my bishop, Anibal Sabate. He is filled with love and his energy is endless in meeting the needs of all who are within his reach. I am grateful for his optimism, his faith, and his genuine concern for each individual in his life. He is one of my heros.
