New Ward

Well, our ward was split yesterday. I can't say I am thrilled about the results. Basically, they started with 2 wards, the 4th and the 21st. We were in the 21st. They took half of the 21st and half of the 4th and created a new ward. Pretty normal right? But then, they made a little jog in the map that included our town homes, and we were moved from the 21st ward to the 4th. So we won't be in the ward we are familiar with, we won't be in a ward that is half and half, we are now in a ward that was mostly already existing with a few of us thrown in.
I was upset about that, but I was fine. Then the bishops got up and spoke. One old bishop, two new bishops, and our old bishop who will remain the bishop of the 21st ward spoke. He is a fantastic bishop. One of the best I have ever had. He was bishop of a ward of over 700 people and knew us all by name. He truly loves the members of his ward. I lost it when he got up and spoke. I had no idea I would cry like that, but I did. Anyone who knows me knows I am emotional, but this was just ridiculous. It did make me feel better that when we got home Scott told me he feels the same way about losing the bishop, but still, I felt like an idiot bawling in front of that many people.
Anyway, I know it is for the best, I know that the stake presidency didn't sit down and draw lines randomly without consulting with our Heavenly Father, and I know He knows what is best for us, but I will miss my old ward. Even though we weren't that social in that ward, we loved a lot of the children, and the people were familiar. We will just have to have faith and know that eventually the new ward will be just as good and will help us grow.
