Stake Split

We had Stake Conference today, and they split our stake! Since we moved out here, almost 7 years ago we’ve been through 3 ward splits, and now a stake split. Obviously it’s been growing like crazy out here. There was already and Eagle Mountain East Stake and we were in the Eagle Mountain West Stake, so I kind of wondered what they would name a new stake if and when they had to split ours. The answer is: we are now part of the Eagle Mountain Central Stake! They had to release one of President Draper’s counselors, President Johnson, since he lived in the new stake, and they made him the Stake President over the new Stake. We also, now no longer have a bishop, because he was called to be one of President Johnson’s counselors. His other counselor is President Freeman, which happened to be our bishop when we were still part of the 1st ward (back when we first moved in, before any of the ward splits that we have lived through). I am very glad that I happen to know who all of these men are. Although I’m sad to lose President Draper as my stake president, I’m sure we will learn to love our new stake leaders just as dearly as we loved our last stake leaders. 🙂
