Last night, all of the Young Single Adults in the area were summoned to what was deemed to be a "Historic Meeting" at the Ogden Tabernacle where three Seventies addressed us about some big changes. Basically, all of the Ogden University wards/stakes have changed to Young Single Adult wards and stakes and all Young Single Adults are encouraged to attend these wards. Along with that the boundaries of most of the former university wards changed to the new YSA wards. This meant big changes for the 11th ward, of which I am and have been a part. Our ward was one of the largest in the University Stake, but after all of the boundary changes, we have about fifteen members on our books. Obviously that'll change a bit...wards aren't supposed to have that small of a congregation...but who knows when that will be...?
Tonight was the last Family Home Evening as the University 11th Ward, and it was a little bittersweet. However, I'm excited to move forward. Change that is inspired by Prophets of God is always a good thing, and it brings with it opportunities to grow in ways that we never thought possible. Yes, I'll miss the old University 11th Ward, but I'm very excited to see what the YSA 11th ward brings! At the fireside, we were promised that as we were obedient in following the counsel of the brethren, we would be greatly blessed, so I'm excited to see where this takes us!
But here's to the memories I've made in the University 11th Ward. I've gotten to know some of the most amazing people in the world through the ward, and I'll miss them!
Sorry this post is a little scattered...I just wanted to be sure to get my feelings down before I forget it all! :-D G'night everyone!
