Next weekend our various stake and ward organizations are sponsoring the following: 7 pm Friday night--Family History Night for the ward where the young women will share brief vignettes about bizarre or famous twigs on the family trees in the ward forest. 9 am Saturday Morning, and I am not joking about this, the Elders Quorum will have a "tie exchange." First elders quorum activity ever not involving some form of barbecue. Tom says he's only going if he can sneak in a basketball and HE'S an elder who could stand to exchange a few ties. Someone's wife is definitely at the bottom of this one. Unspecified time Saturday: building cleaning. Our ward has decided to assign that by organization, so the Elders Quorum, Relief Society, Primary, and Youth each take turns. Maybe in theory the whole organization is supposed to gather at the church and experience camraderie while they learn industrial cleaning skills. In practice it means that each week the harried organization head runs through the phone list, hitting the likeliest targets, until they find someone home and willing. I have recently discovered that this family has somehow infiltrated every ward organization, so our turn has been coming around quite regularly. At 1 pm is the Stake Relief Society conference, theme "You're Not Alone," which should be subtitled "But You Are Exhausted." Church as usual on Sunday, I assume, with a Stake Priesthood meeting that night.
Can you remember where I was going with that? I can't, except maybe to bed.

A tie exchange! Why haven't I ever thought of that?
I think its great you guys make it to all of that. I was sitting in a baptism this afternoon with Isaac (it was one of his primary pals, though I think he stayed because he thought cookies would be served) and it felt odd, and I suddenly realized that its the first church thing outside the standard 3 blocks I've been to in a long while.
Where's BKP when you need him? At least we now know what he was on about.
