We received a call yesterday from someone who bought a house in our area and THOUGHT they might be in our ward. Our ward is confusing because it's named after a city, yet, most of our ward doesn't live in that city. So, anyone with an address in that city thinks they belong in our ward. It causes a lot of confusion.
After looking the address up, we determined they were in the other ward that meets in our building.
We found out which ward they were in by going to maps.lds.org! It's the best thing EVER! No longer do you have to make calls to find out what ward you're in when you move! You can just type in your address and you get both the wards nearby AND the ward that address is assigned to. And, if there's a foreign language or young single adult ward nearby, you'll get that information, too!
It's great for vacations! We always try to hit a sacrament meeting on vacation and this makes it really easy to find a ward!
I LOVE the church's internet site - LDS.org. There are so many useful tools on there. I just wish more people would use it. Our ward is trying to make our ward website more informational by adding photos of all the families in the ward to the directory and putting news and information there as well as calendar items. Yet, I'm always surprised at the people who say, "I don't even have a log-in". It's easy - you just ask your ward clerk for your membership number and then you can register.
