When you are in the "dying" ward

I'm thinking that one of the problems with a smaller ward is burn out. Your calling pool is shallow and you just burn through the same people over and over with no break. The only way to not get a calling that takes a lot of time is to be completely incompetent. And even that is not a guarantee. And when I say incompetent, I mean do nothing and let the program completely flounder.

As in, why don't we have a cub scout program? Things like that.

Whereas in a big ward the thing is you can get completely lost.

I am surprised the Stake doesn't work the boundaries a bit to help alleviate this.
