Four Missionaries and the Big Question Mark

 

                Jenna had attended a class and learned that our ward now has two sets of missionaries.  I met them today.  The one who has been in the area the longest had been called to serve a country in Asia.  I think he said his calling location was changed before he had arrived to the MTC.  His companion had served four months in Japan before being transferred to Myrtle Creek.    The other two elders were called to Spanish speaking missions: one to Mexico and the other to Peru.  Though they are no longer serving in those countries they are still on a Spanish speaking mission.  Interesting.

            The ward counsel was told that church services would be starting up again.  This is the third time that’s been announced.  Would be nice to have it be the final time.  The plan is to restart on September 13 (a Sunday, not a Friday) and we will wear masks, social distance, and sing if we choose (with our masks on).  Only one speaker will be assigned and then we will return home.  It will definitely be different from the last meeting we attended the first week in March.

            There will be church for three weeks before General Conference.  This ward has always held fast and testimony meeting the week before General Conference.  Big Question right now is if we will get to have that this month?  How would that work?  That hasn’t been planned out yet.  I suppose I will have more detail as we approach September 27.  Hoping we will be able to meet.  But it won’t be the same – I’m guessing for the rest of the year.  How will we celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas?  The same way we spent Easter? 


            I hope we have a new president to be inaugurated in January.  President Trump deflates hope.  Did I share this video already?
