A change in the Mesa Arizona Maricopa Stake Presidency took place during the February Stake Conference. Elder Grow of the Seventy was the visiting authority for Salt Lake. Under his direction the members of the stake had the opportunity to raise their hands in sustaining Linda's younger brother Lynn Burnham as Stake President. He had been serving as counselor to President Jerry Lewis, now released after nearly 10 yrs of service, and with President Wilford Andersen before President Lewis.

Lynn retained President Fuller (on his right) as one of his counselors, and chose Randy Richardson (married to Jenny Montague) from the Vineyard Ward as 2nd Counselor. They will be a great presidency. Lynn is such a wise and devoted leader. We love and admire him very much.

This picture was taken immediately following their setting apart ceremony conducted by Elder Grow before his return to Salt Lake.
