I visited Michelle Hinkes with Melissa first and then Kristen Sylvester with Lauresa. Michelle was married before as was Kristen and Lauresa. That is much more common in my ward than I had supposed. A lot of people have kids too. It's much more prevalent in the ward than I thought. I read a blog posting by some girl in a mid-singles ward in Salt Lake City with 6 relief societies. She said there was a division between people who had been married before and those who hadn't been married. Her ward had over 600 members. Sarah and Carline expressed similar sentiments. Sarah and Carline were both married before too. I'm sure the brethren have their reasons for allowing such huge mid-singles wards but I don't know what it is.

I'm actually glad when I FINALLY attended a mid-singles ward it was here in Logan. I like my ward. There are goofy people in it BUT that's consistent with ANY singles wards even the YSA wards. I think because we're in an older ward the back-biting is not as pronounced, BUT it's still there. People are just more subtle. When I left my Tonga singles ward in Salt Lake City they changed a lot of things. The YSA ward first of all kicked out anyone over 30 and sent them to the mid-singles wards. The Tongan wards couldn't be part of the Tongan stakes anymore. When I told my former counselor in the stake presidency I was thinking about attending a family ward soon because the single adults kept getting younger and younger, he told me I wouldn't feel comfortable there and to remain in the Tongan YSA ward.

Kristen had the Twilight series AND several works by Ayn Rand. Rand is one of the strangest authors I've EVER read. Thought-provoking but reading that much propaganda was annoying. I like books that make you think BUT NOT books that want you to consider EVERY single thing a certain way especially if you don't believe everything they spout off or try to promote. Everything had a purpose AND I didn't like everything that was suggested. Irritating agenda-writing.

Easter Sunday is coming up. I need to buy some chocolate just for myself!!!
