We had a pretty major change take place on Sunday in our Ward. To preface, I'll just say that Chris and I have been in the Franklin Ward since we moved into our home in August of 1995. That's quite awhile. We've been through two splits, staying in the same ward, just losing areas.
Well, Saturday we got an e-mail from our Bishop telling us that we weren't having 2nd or 3rd hour classes, but were instead asked to go to the Stake Center for a meeting. Of course, the speculation began. Were we being split, added to or taken from. For me, in Young Womens, with only two Mia Maids, I was really hoping to get some more young women.
Well, lo and behold, we have been moved to a whole new stake, with a couple of neighborhoods added to our ward. Our stake center is now the one next to the Temple. So, yep, we got moved to a Boise Stake. And we gained ONE new young woman with the move. So, I'm trying to find the positives in this move. Hopefully some will present themselves soon. As least we weren't the ward that got totally disbanded and split into 5, yep 5 different wards. I feel real bad for those folks.
So, whaddya think of this??

Crazy stuff! So is the ward still called "Franklin" and do you still meet in the same place? Nobody was lost were they? That must have been a shock to you all. I'm glad to know about it.
Change is always difficult, but hopefully for good! Good luck!
I was hoping for more girls too. But I think this will be a good change.
wow! never been in a ward that has split. they did split the mccall ward into two just before we moved here but i wonder if they we be joining them back together when the church is finished. hmmm
Totally physched for the 9:00AM time change!
But having the stake center a little further is only a slgith inconvienance.
Way to be posative about things.
You guys change to 9 am right after we leave? Life is ironic.
