Johnstown Ward

This morning we went to church to the Johnstown Ward. It was really nice. There is only one ward here. It was weird to not have 2-3 other wards in the building at the same time. It was so quiet. I have never been in a quieter ward building. Not even in college. It was weird, but really nice. We just went to Sacrament Meeting. There were two speakers. The first was a girl named Ellen that had just graduated from SVU. She talked of it being an LDS associated school. I tried to figure out what LDS school it could be. I mean I know there are a few in Utah, Idaho, Hawaii and a few other places... but I didn't know about any out East. Turns out there is one! Southern Virginia University. I mean it isn't owned by the Church, but serves LDS Communities. I wish I would have known that when I was looking for a college!

Anyways, she did a great job and I really enjoyed her talk. She talked about Service. It was something that I needed to hear. Now I just hope I can take something from it and actually apply it! That is always the tough part. I mean I hear talks that I need all the time, but actually applying it is different.

The next speaker was a 40 year old man named Brother Kennedy. He was a high counsel speaker. He had just moved to PA from Germany. I am not sure where he lived, but it wasn't in Johnstown. This was his first trip here. He had never heard of it before. But he also talked on Service. He talked about serving a mission and finding was to serve. It was a really nice meeting. I am glad that we went.
