It has been 18 months since the last boundary change so I guess it was time again. The church is very huge and strong here in Tucson. We live in an area that is called Rita Ranch and Mesquite Ranch. Between these 2 neighborhoods alone, we have 2 wards. We now have 4 wards meeting in our building until they can get a new one built down the road a few miles. I had a 3 hour primary meeting last night to shuffle kids and callings. It is sad to see 12 active families (including Dawna Herr's) be moved into a different ward. But I'm sure we will still see them often since our boundaries are so small. They only live about 3 miles away. Visiting teaching is a breeze. I really could ride my bike to each house if I wanted to.
Mario was ordained a High Priest on Saturday and put in as a High Priest Group Assistant. We'll see how he likes meeting with the older guys. Their responsibility are the widows and also the unordained prospective Elders. Mario says he needs to go out and buy the large print scriptures so he will fit in. It sounds like their group could use a little personality in there, but Mario doesn't think his joking went over so well. I think he is missing the YM a little. But change is good too.

ha ha on the high priest scriptures. mario is definitely young...bishopric sounds like it's around the corner :)
It is sad when the Ward boundries change but I guess change is good to strengthen the new change.
That's awesome that Mario was ordained a High Priest on Saturday. Maybe he will eventually be able to bring some humor into the group.
I like change. Poor Eric.
