It has been a long time coming but definitely worth the wait. The profound impact the branch will have on those who choose to join it can not be overstated. To say that it will have eternal significance to some is a very real thing.
I know what a singles unit has done for me. It helped me return to the gospel, all those years ago, after I had taken a semi-extended absence from the influence of the truth. It is a very medium-gray sort of way of life, nothing too bad or good about it, in just the sort of meaningless way the adversary would likely prefer the most. One of the greatest challenges to overcome, when one has found themselves away from the gospel(for whatever reason), is coming to realize that a life which is simply 'good enough' is literally settling for a second-rate version of yourself. What a tragic thing to accept! The gospel is in the habit of changing us into our very 'best self'... something every person should be happy to strive for.
I also know that I have a very biased opinion on the topic. And I know it has not been the most positive experience for some very close friends of mine. But I also know it is all about making a choice and committing to keeping it. As in all things, we live and die by our level of commitment to the choices we make. Every single choice has an effect on the future.
Choosing to be an active participant in a singles unit will bless the life of anyone who accepts the opportunity whole-heartedly. It will change life(not just that person's) for the better.
