It seemed that every one was in their own world and not very friendly, but I worked hard at smiling at every one and looking "happy". Though the reception at that ward was lukewarm, eventually we made some of the best friends there and later to find out it was a ward that experienced many trials.<br /><br />In that same ward, another family moved in a few months ahead of us and hated the ward. My husband and I made friends with them, but later kept our distance when they continued to talk badly of the members and the leaders. I realized that we could have been like that couple if we didn't press on and continued to reach out to others even though they didn't in the beginning.<br /><br />That's just and example where we had to look thru that situation thru rose colored glasses.H.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10555156176113515138noreply@blogger.com
