Their guardian angel is a " visiting brother/sister " who reports to Salt.. I mean Headquarters which then notifies the welcome wagon committee which then send the correct person to assist with orientation. It really gets complicated when thousands arrive all at once , eg. , a tsunami . π€

passport - bro ???? A neighbor 's wife passed away after 50 years of marriage. Within a couple of years he had married a lady from Thailand I think. He was about 80 yo at the time. Poor girl . Culture shock was one thing but climate shock was much worse.

Currently reading " A year of living Biblically " by A.J. Jacobs. Interesting insights and chuckles. -

Upcoming LDS seminary building on HS campus brings mixed reactions
blackstrap replied to JAHS's topic in General Discussions
If the Church donates the building to the school, then not only are religious classes being taught ON school property , but IN a school building. Many years ago in my area we held seminary in one of the town's school buildings. Nothing came of it. Now we have a totally separate building for seminary near the school but not on the property. Release time is approved. -
Let's see if I can simplify it. You made $700 on your investment , but during the same period you broke your leg and went in to the hospital. That cost you $ 15000 in medical expenses, but fortunately you have insurance which paid $ 14000 on the hospital bill and you paid $ 1000 out of pocket. What was your increase and how much tithing should you pay ? It gets even simpler if you have a farm or a business. Hope that helps. π

Lengthen your stride, quicken your pace. When this hit the Elder's quorum I remember the general feeling that ,,, " whatever " ,we will inch forward when possible. The RS ladies, however , took it much more to heart. My spouse said the lessons always made her feel inadequate if not unworthy. Is this usual or am I just being s ******.
