Changes

Last night the stake presidency called a special meeting.  Everyone knew changes were going to have to be made.  Since Lincoln was turned into its own stake last year we could see just how crowded our little ward building was getting.  Last night they made the announcement there will be a new ward, Lincoln 6th ward.  Making a new ward meant new ward boundries.  As they pulled up the map to show the new boundaries you can here the gasps and groans around the room.  As President Brasher explained the new boundaries people got excited.  When it came time to show the boundaries for the Lincoln 6th ward, which is basically Lincoln Crossing, mixed feelings were in the room.  We are no longer part of Lincoln 1st ward.  So many people I came to know and love are going to still be in that ward while a lot of my friends are going to be a part of a new ward. 
The Young Women's presidency is staying with the 1st ward, all but 2 girls moved into the new ward.  It's going to be exciting to hear all the new callings and see who gets to do what.  I know a lot of people want to keep their old callings, maybe they will. 
It's great to see the church grow.  Especially in our little town.  Making these changes allows us to spread out more and continue to bring people into our church.  Lincoln is not finished growing yet.  Lots more land out there to build on :)
