I was browsing
tech.lds.org recently and came across a post about mapping. Many of you (LDS folks) when you move to a new place have used the Meetinghouse Locater tool where you punch in your address and it lists the local wards in the area. Well now they've tied that information to a map (wohoo!). This service is found by either going to
maps.lds.org or
www.mormon.org.
The cool thing about this is it does two things:
- Lists nearest chapels from an address you punch in. This could be good when you're traveling or on vacation and need to find a building to atttend church in.
- Lists the ward you're assigned to if you live at the address you punched in. BUT, not only does it list the likely family ward, but a single adult ward, foreign ward (in my case, Tongan, Samoa, or Hispanic), or deaf ward.
Yes, there really are 4 (!) LDS meetinghouses within a half mile of my home.

Wow, that is so cool! We will have to check it out! Thanks for sharing :)
Ahh, maps, never enough.
Hmmm, I didn't know that was all online! Wunderbar!
We checked that out on Sunday. It looks pretty cool.
I didn't even know such a thing existed. I'll have fun looking at this one.
