There are many times in your life that makes you go WHAT!!!!! Today was one of those days. As I was sitting with my family in Sacrament meeting today little did I know what kind of change the Lord had in store for our ward. It is so amazing that our Heavenly Father knows what needs to be done to spread his gospel through out the world. He is always a step ahead so when he does something sometimes our reaction is WHAT. Today our ward of about 120-150 active members was split into two wards. The kicker is that we were actually a ward of about 800 but you do the math and you will see how many inactive members reside in these areas. Not to mention our ward boundaries covered one whole parish and several parts of surrounding parishes.
So when President Epperson announced this and then asked the Ward 2 side to stand, you knew it was right. However then he asked Ward 1 side to stand and it looked more like a branch. Of course we are on the tiny side so there is a lot of work that will be falling on a few strong shoulders until the ward takes off. I believe that our Father in Heaven is asking us to stand up and put our backs into the work. If we can get even a quarter of the numbers back into activation we will be a strong ward. I pray that we will all see that our Father's hand is in this and that we can and will make it work if we rely on Him.
