I've been making friends in Layton. I thank GOD for Bonnie Benedict! I met her the first Sunday here, and she has been a lifesaver. I walk with her and Tammy Petty about 3 mornings a week.
I have really worked on making connections in Layton. I knew if I was going to like it here I needed Layton friends. I have asked people in my ward to go to lunch with me, to share their stories, and how they feel about the gospel. I have put myself in charge of our ward newsletter section of Meet a Ward member where I call on different families to share their stories, hobbies, why stay in church etc... that's been good for me as well because I have to reach out and put myself out there. I gave myself this calling and told the Bishop what I wanted to do. I have worked on relationships with our next-door neighbors and across-the-street neighbors. We have delivered many loaves of sourdough bread and chocolate chip cookies.
