It's fun to finally be able to look over the congregation and know many people. It takes awhile to get to know names, faces, families, etc., but the more we do the better it feels. Sister Emery is the Primary President. She is a grandma who just loves children. I want to be more like her. Brother Brown, our Young Men's President volunteers for everything, is friendly to everyone, and pulls far more than his own weight. I'm encouraged by his example as well. The Bishopric works so hard in behalf of the ward. My visiting teacher, Sister Barbara Butterfield, is a dear, grandma friend. She is so sweet, non-judgmental, and diligent. There are many people who I don't even know who come up and encourage us by telling us how great our family or children are. I appreciate their compliments and encouragement. Yes, there are some members who are critical of everyone and rather toxic. Maybe their hormones are out of whack. Poor things. I'm grateful Heavenly Father has blessed us to live in a place where we are loved and where we can love. I'm glad we are needed here and we need the people around us. I pay we can help create and solidify ward unity. Then it is like a wonderful, loving family.
