My policy is unless we are really sick, we go. Doesn't matter if it's New Year's Day, etc. In my opinion there always seems an easier option-- sleeping in, etc but I am always glad we chose to go to church once we get there.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02125609989859318267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-19839999372635748312012-01-09T00:13:01.525-07:002012-01-09T00:13:01.525-07:00Jill, That is so true!

At the last change, when only ten families were moved into the 10th ward, I felt completely lost. But I have grown to love the people that wrapped us in their arms and "brought us in".Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616030675515165067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-62530878168873789852012-01-08T21:28:52.468-07:002012-01-08T21:28:52.468-07:00I'm so glad you went!

I'm optimistic about this change for you and think you and your family have so much to offer this new ward that maybe you should see yourselves as the booster shot the ward needs!<br /><br />The gospel is true wherever we go and it's times like these (or when going to church in Paris) that we really put this belief to the test!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032420498045893374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-83453366482082452552012-01-08T19:01:49.146-07:002012-01-08T19:01:49.146-07:00I love that quote by Elder Wirthlin, so much so th...I love that quote by Elder Wirthlin, so much so that I printed it out!<br /><br />I also pondered your last statement about never regretting going to church. That is so true, yet I have never really thought of it in those terms.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this experience and good luck with your new ward! I am sure they are glad to have your talented, yet devoted family.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283628840740116700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-5022447741617428802012-01-08T15:55:40.100-07:002012-01-08T15:55:40.100-07:00I do love your thoughts.

I too find myself with an internal struggle most Sundays (seriously???) thinking I don't want to go to church. I am never dissapointed, luckily I rarely succumb to those thoughts.<br /><br />A new ward is so hard. I feel your pain. I'm so thankful for thoughtful people. Truly angels on earth.patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152750312635694010noreply@blogger.com
