I believe the wards we have been in have not been coincidences. I believe we have been so blessed by each one. Perhaps, we have been able to serve and bless others as well.
In Paradise we learned so much about helping others and looking out for their needs by the service we received from dear friends. We learned about natural medicine, homeschool, and self-reliance. We still keep in contact with wonderful friends there. Evans, Alexanders, Hanceys, Kellers, Lawerences, and other amazing people.
In Honeyville we were reminded of the need to only speak well of others. Also I was reminded how much my ward family encouraged me and helped my testimony and confidence to grow as a youth. Binghams, Millers, Mitsons, etc.
In Logan we felt truly needed. We learned a lot from Sandy Neilsen about sharing and reaching out to others. We were reminded we have an awesome family. We go on adventures and outings all the time and forget others don't always get that experience. So we tried to share it with our friends, especially the deacons quorum and young women (all 3 of them). It was nice to be able to share tips with all the newly weds and get great tips from the elderly.
In Riverton the leaders of most of the auxillaries came to visit us in our home even though they knew we would only be there a few months. They welcomed us and cared enough to visit us.
In the first Herriman 2nd ward we might have been there to network among people who know who to adopt. The kids also made great friends.
Now we are in the new Herriman 2nd ward. We are starting out with a sea of new faces yet again. It is challenging for the kids, but they are amazing! It is a great opportunity to enhance our friendship skills. We are excited to see what amazing blessings will come from being in this ward. I hope we can contribute and help others as well.
Each ward has blessed us far more than this simple entry can sum up. Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives. I'm so grateful He has given us ward families.
