The Melissa Ward

Well, the announcement is in. There is now a Melissa Ward at church. Instead of just 5 McKinney wards, there are 5 plus one in Melissa. (FYI: Melissa is the small town just a few miles south of us.) The Melissa congregation will include Melissa, Anna and a tall, skinny section of eastern McKinney. Many of the families that we've become good friends with will still be in our ward which is so fun. Of course, many people that we love will be in a different ward from us but that's the nature of change. A property in Melissa has been purchased for a new building that we'll get to go to once it's done. I'm very excited for next week, especially because we'll be going to church at 11am instead of 2:30. Hallelujah!!
Just as a little update, I'm amazed at how good my recovery from my little procedure has gone. I still tire quite easily but feel good otherwise. I'm so glad.
We had a fun visit from Rob's parents tonight. They just got back from a youth trip to Nauvoo that went really well. That's a trip I've never taken but would like to go on. It sounds like many of the visitor's facilities are open year round so that bodes well. :-)
