Converted to The Lord not the ward

I'm not going to lie I've struggled with my ward this past year and a half and even more so since August. My ward consists mainly of freshmen living on campus and fraternity and sorority kids and I don't really fit into either group. My misfit friends who I used to attend with don't go now for various reasons so I'm usually all by myself on Sundays. My ward is huge and the bishopric is new so I pretty much go unnoticed. This has been very difficult for me and I've felt like an outsider and a visitor in my own ward. As difficult as it has been its been a good learning experience. This experience is helping me to understand and be more compassionate with other people's struggles at church. I have learned how difficult it is to go to church when you don't know anybody and you don't feel like you fit in. I have also been able to prove to myself that I am becoming converted to the Lord and not to the ward. I've come closer to The Lord when my only reason to be there is to learn of Him and to renew my covenants not to socialize. I've also learned not to take offense as I realize that the church is true but sometimes the members aren't. Even though I may be lonely at church during the next fifteen weeks I will continue to attend because my relationship with my Savior and renewing covenants is more important to me then fitting into my ward.
