He says a main focus in their ward
since the organization of the new
stakes has been to reach out to the less
active.
“There was a high rate of inactivity
and our ward missionaries and home
teachers and visiting teachers are try-
ing to reach out to these members,”
Daniel says. “There are still some
people on my roster that I’m still try-
ing to meet and get to know.”
Considered it all together, it’s an
impressive concept to think of the
thousands of young people in the
Phoenix area who are coming together
to learn the gospel and to serve. It’s a
concept, Elder LeSueur says, that not
only strengthens the youth but the area
as a whole.
“It’s awesome to think about.
It’s such a blessing for these single
adults—well, for all of us,” Sister
Sandstrom says. “It’s truly a miracle.”
