Was talking to a ward member today about another ward member who had moved out. He told me that in part this family moved out because they were tired of being in a struggling ward where they would always have time-consuming callings.

I won't give anymore details, so as not to potentially identify people.

But that's kind of interesting. We have had A LOT of people leave our ward, and we are not getting quality replacements. The previous Bishop, in some 3 years or so as Bishop, had something like 6 counselors.

I told Jen, one more major moveout, and we're gone too! I say that tongue-in-cheek (well, not completely TIC).

If you have a pulse in our ward, you're going to get a calling. Maybe two or three. Many people with more than one calling.

I wonder if we'd be better off being combined into another ward.
