Shortest calling we have ever held

Julie and I have been attending the BYU Married ward in our area, and a few weeks after being in the ward, we got called in to talk to a counselor in the bishopric. He extended us a calling to serve on the Activities Committee in our ward. We accepted, and the next week we were sustained. Two weeks later we inquired about being set apart. The bishop said there would be a meeting for the Activities Committee after church, and he would talk about it then. We came, along with the rest of the committee, only to learn we were being "fired," as the bishop put it. He explained that the church has decided to eliminate the Activities Committee church wide and just have the Ward Council plan the activities. Because of this decision, we were all being released from our callings within the Activities Committee the following week. All of us just stared at the Bishop with surprise. Most of us had just been sustained a week or two before. Then the Bishop reassured us that there were plenty of callings still, so don't be worried that you will get bored. In the end, we found the whole situation pretty amusing. I guess now we will just have to wait and see what happens next.
