We went to the Weston ward for the first time today. We started with a Ward Council meeting that was a real pleasure to go to because almost all the time was spent talking about people and what could be done to help them in some way. The Relief Society came with a list of sisters who they had concerns for as did the other leaders. Bishop Rampton seemed to know about the members under discussion and made assignments to handle others.

Sacrament meeting was interesting because the Weston ward and Pembroke ward are meeting together in the Plantation ward chapel while their building is being repaired. The bishoprics take turns each month conduction sacrament. It seems that the members of the two wards blend together  perfectly. It makes me think of Moroni 7 where Mormon tells the saints that they are peaceful…that is how it felt to me. It truly seemed like a household of saints.

In the evening we went to Bishop Rampton’s house for dinner. We were able to meet his lovely wife Jennifer and their two charming daughters Chloe and Shiloh. We had a delicious meal – topped off by some of the best pineapple we have had in a long time and a rich delicious Texas sheet cake. We talked about the ward, missions, families, and such. Before we left we committed them to select a date by which they will have someone prepared to have the missionaries.

It was truly a very good Sunday.
