I just have to complain a little. First off, I LOVE Relief Society! It is so nice to gather once a week with fellow sisters and get to know them while learning about the gospel. And then there's the quarterly Enrichment nights where we can come together and just have fun. Oh, and all the mini-groups are the best idea to branch out and get to know people on a closer level while sharing common interests and talents. Women need other women. I need that bonding now more than ever since I don't know anyone up here. Plus, I'm missing my old calling of Provident Living Enrichment leader. It was the best!
We've lived here for over 3 months and finally had an Enrichment night last night for the first time. I only know 2 girls in the ward, so I invited them to carpool to the church (which is about a 10 minute drive- I know, weird), but neither of them could go. So I went alone anyway, trying to muster up courage to make new friends. Guess how many women showed up???? 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Including me!!!!! What is up with that??
There, I'm done. I know it's up to me to quit my judging and just get out there and make friends. And who knows, maybe by doing so it'll make it a better ward in the long run. But until then, it's going to be a struggle. What happened to mini groups a couple times a month? What happened to supporting your leaders and going to Enrichment even if you didn't really feel like it? What happened to welcoming new sisters? Oh wait, they do that here, they just skipped me. Ugh.

Ugh, I'm sorry :(
Hey! We moved to Saratoga Springs and are in need of some company too. :) We should get together. Want to meet at IKEA or Thanksgiving Point sometime? It would be great to catch up and see how your kids have grown. Do you still have my email?
