If we have to make our own, at least they could hand out sewing patterns. 😥
Rain Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 I actually saw something about that a couple of days ago so apparently that is happening with several people. 1

Both UPS and FedEx truncate a shipper's name beyond 35 characters. The Church could fix this, if it wanted to, but just using 'The Church of Jesus Christ'. Edited September 28, 2022 by Hamba Tuhan

All-white underpants for men are virtually non-existent in my part of the world. Our temple actually imports 'briefs' from America to be used in the baptistery. And I've never seen (or worn) a pair of boxers with the desired length. Personally, I'm praying that my garments hold out longer than usual. The last two lots all promptly started falling apart at the five-year mark, and I will reach that point in November. My housemate returned to full activity at the end of last year and was able to buy only five pairs of garments when he resumed wearing them. He then ordered another five pairs, but they only arrived last week! Edited September 28, 2022 by Hamba Tuhan 2

One joke was that you could tell that an elder had been in the mission over a year because he didn’t know which hole to get into when putting on his garments. 1

Thinking Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Jesus drank wine. Surely he could have enjoyed an occasional latte.
Danzo Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 On my mission Italy, we would drink latte every day. We even put it on our cereal in the morning. Some of the missionaries would develop an intolerance for the latte. but most of us were fine with it. 1

Church headquarters? 1

Last year an order for my garments took over six months. Material shortage? I’m ordering some more today. Unfortunately, the others shrank and are now too small.
