We went back to the new ward in Maricopa today, as we are moving in tomorrow. I was very impressed again. We went and visited this ward once 2 months ago, and when we went today, the bishopric, nursery, and relief society presidency knew exactly who we were and remembered our names! They said, "Did you finally get the house?" They've been waiting! (As have we!). It took our ward in Tolleson 6 months to finally realize we weren't visitors/new anymore and to have ONE person know our names. It took the Maricopa ward one Sunday and they remembered our names two months later!
They're pretty welcoming, and already have our membership records! Glad to be in a ward I'll enjoy-- hopefully. :)

Just us
- Andrew and Liz Orton
- Maricopa, AZ, United States
- We've been married for 6 years now. We have a 5 year old, Abby and a 4 month old, Ruby. Andrew's working for Empire Cat doing gps systems on the mines down here. He's graduated from DeVry University Phoenix where he earned his Bachelors Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology. He's out of the Army National Guard, where he was a cook. I'm a full time mom who coaches gymnastics on the side-- it seems to be keeping me pretty busy. We have a zoo of animals in our house, as well. We've been very blessed with our little family and we're very grateful for the many blessings the Lord has poured out on us.

Congrats on finally getting everything closed on the house and the new nice ward. The real trick now is for you to remember THEIR names. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna get called to nursery! (Ha we're getting callings on Sunday in our new ward, so I bet just because I said that I'm going to nursery)
ReplyDeleteHurrah, by now you are sleeping in your new home! Congratulations. Enjoy your home and new ward. The hard part is getting use to a new grocery store! Maricopa is getting big - we drove through it last Feb.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! We are so pleased that you were able to finally get into that home. Can't wait to come and visit.
