I'm going to miss this ward

Man, I'm going to miss the Pocatello 1st ward. Everyone there is all "What can we do?" and you know they aren't just doing the regular "Is there anything we can do for you?" and then if you need something they are too busy or something because when they found out that the company is moving us. They still kept asking, they are almost like little kids when they want some candy or something. "Pleeeeeaaaaassssse, please can you find a way to let us serve you?" ;) LOL. Really they are awesome! We even had one sister in our ward who offered to babysit the kids so that we could pack (that was before we knew the company was doing it for us) I told her that would be a huge help, that would be more help than coming to help us pack. Her and her husband had also just moved their daughter so they we offering to give us their boxes and apologizing that they had already given some to someone else that was moving. Then when we found out that the company was doing the packing and whatnot, we told that sister that we wouldn't need her to watch them and explained why, and told her that we appreciated her offering though. I thought that would be the end of it, but this sister came up to me after church and said "If you ever need a place to stay, I know that sometimes your stuff gets moved before you do, so if your beds and things are packed and you still have to stay....don't sleep on the floor Ok? We have rooms at our house that you can stay in." and she was offering everything you could think of...anything that we might possibly need. I thought this was especially sweet because, we had seen this sister in the ward, but not really MET her until a few weeks prior, and she was still willing to give anything that she had to give even though she didn't really know us that well. And our home teachers kept asking and asking like they wanted to make sure that we weren't making something up just so we could pack and load by ourselves or something. And we have had most of the members in the ward that know us in any degree, if they know we're moving, they are there asking what they can do. It is the only ward that is even comparable to the Butte wards. And those of you that know how I felt about the Butte wards know that's saying something. So I hope the Green River wards are similar, because this ward is going to be very missed.
