Elder Hallsted and I had an interesting experience last saturday as we were finishing up service.
We found that our keys were no longer in the pocket they should have been, but rather locked in the
backseat in plain view of our grieving eyes. We had to deliver all the cleaning supplies back to
downtown Riverside on a deadline. Luckily the Office Elders were in our service group, and they
quickly rescued us with a spare key taken from the Mission office.
We also were able to bring 2 friends to an in person Sacrament meeting!! Yes, I said sacrament meeting in person,
We also were able to bring 2 friends to an in person Sacrament meeting!! Yes, I said sacrament meeting in person,
with masks. First one in about 6 months. a missionary who has not been to church in 6 months is
generally not recommended.
3 more were able to attend virtually, and all (myself included) were spiritually enlightened!
We started our new series missionaries with out arms with arms. I am not sure who had the most fun
It was very nice to be back at the ASL Branch again. It was a little awkward in our sacrament meeting
to wash hands, put on gloves, and have taped off rows in the Chapel, but I'm sure that God was happy with our
little gathering!
President Watson is wanting a 5th ASLder in our apartment for what he says is
"preparation for future leadership assignments", whatever that means. We are now "Drafting"
the next missionary to serve in the ASL Branch. There are quite a few who are "fluent", but I beg to differ.
It is strange how people have a sudden interest in the Language! We will be making our decisions soon.
We started our new series missionaries with out arms with arms. I am not sure who had the most fun
filming this...I hope you all enjoy!
