This reorganization will be helpful with "The Rescue". A great resource for leaders of young single adults is ysaleaders.org.

He got his info from Elder Robert D Hales.<br /><br />The weeding out of Student Wards has happened in Logan, Ogden, and St George. The Bretheren are now working on Provo/Orem, and will then move to Salt Lake, probably Spring 2011.<br /><br />-Bob<br />Many Mighty Miracles<br />http://alma2612.blogspot.comBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904969537714974512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-89457966234693347972010-09-13T21:33:45.751-06:002010-09-13T21:33:45.751-06:00St George Utah switched to YSA stakes about 2 week...St George Utah switched to YSA stakes about 2 weeks ago.Deivisashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11222270727935678513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-91294403528591041952010-09-12T22:02:31.986-06:002010-09-12T22:02:31.986-06:00Thanks for the comment.

I figured this was a pilot program which the Church thought best to experiment with in Utah. <br /><br />In clarification to the quote you posted, the Church did not discontinue the two Ogden University stakes but just renamed, or reorganized, them as the Ogden Utah YSA 1st and Ogden Utah YSA 2nd Stakes.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030323360917985701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-22736281322768574042010-09-12T21:40:41.949-06:002010-09-12T21:40:41.949-06:00Thought you would be interested in this post:

There are only "YSA" wards and stakes. Student status doesn't matter. [This was not a big change... this distinction has been de-emphasized to the point that I honestly was not even aware of it... I was in a student ward and stake, and I'm not a student].<br />2) Young married wards have been dissolved. Married couples attend the residential ward for their area.<br />3) YSA's who do not live at home are automatically part of a singles ward. They do not attend a residential (family) ward. YSA's who live at home should counsel with their parents and decide whether to attend their family's ward or the YSA ward.<br />4) Boundaries should be clarified and enforced. [This is a big change... people around here tend to "shop" for a ward they like, regardless of boundaries. About 60% of my ward (well, former ward) lives outside the boundaries].<br /><br />In accordance with these changes, the two Ogden University stakes were dissolved, and two new YSA stakes were organized, with new boundaries."Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599912078704905243noreply@blogger.com
