Damien the Leper Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 This brought back fond and disturbing (not really in a bad way) memories. It made me laugh.http://www.buzzfeed.com/theprincessmo/33-signs-that-youre-in-a-mormon-young-single-adul-amb4?utm_term=.dfE5DDXJ3#.is69yYzWjAlso makes me remember when Halconero and I were in the same ward.
halconero Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Being a missionary in that ward was one of the most interesting experiences I've ever had as a member. It was like an insider-outsider's look in on ward drama, the dating scene, etc. We were "in the [ward], but not of the [ward]." 3
Damien the Leper Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) It was definitely weird. I'd never thought that being in a ward with so many med students could be so awkward. Gospel Essentials could get out of control. The bishop split the Gospel Doctrines class and never gave a reason why. I had been in YSA wards before but this one was on a whole different level of batty. I don't know why Pres. Beck chose that ward for the APs.ETA: I'm not saying the ward was bad or overly negative. But it was a world in a bubble of its own. Edited September 8, 2015 by Valentinus
Rain Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Are you talking about a California mission? Maybe San Jose? A President Beck was my stake president before he was mission president in one of the California missions.
sunstoned Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I remember a Beck as a counselor in the stake presidency in the bay area. I was in the Sunnyvale Second ward at the time.
Damien the Leper Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 No. He was the AZ Phoenix Mission President.
