Our teacher in Priesthood is from England, and when he was discussing his decision to come to Utah today, he said, "I don't want to go to Utah; it's a stupid place." I had to laugh because it sounded exactly like Graham Chapman saying, "Well, on second thought, let's not go to Camelot. Tis a silly place."Not that, sickos.Comment

Primerica Prez pulled me aside as I walked into the sharing time hour of power. She said, "hey, so how did everything go last week?" I said, "fine." she said, "ok."
When I was walking my classroom after the Hour of Power, I noticed a gaggle of nursery kids walking down the hall , each of them holding onto a section of a larger length of rope, I assume to keep them together in a group. They had just returned from a walk.
Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Our ward has this policy as well. It's because they could never have anyone stay in the "sign people up for cleaning" calling for more than a month. Everyone in this position would quit in frustration because no one answers their phone calls. So now the policy is that the cleanup coordinator just assigns families, who must clean.Originally posted by doctorcoug View Post
It's actually the fault of the men. They were the major slackers and didn't sign up or show up. The relief society always has plenty of volunteers. And they even have sisters show up who haven't signed up. They just have a few extra minutes to spare, and want to pitch in.Comment

We share our building with another ward, so we alternate months for cleaning the building. A team is assigned in advance for every week that is "ours." Just about every able-bodied and active member gets an assignment -- 5-6 people per assignment. Everyone has 2 Saturday mornings in the year when they are supposed to help. We've assigned a member of the ward council to be the "captain" of a cleaning team for every week. That person is supposed to call everyone and remind them that their "turn" is coming up. We also print the assignments in the ward Sunday program several weeks in advance, and the bishopric reminds everyone to pay attention to that. It works pretty well and we get the work done in an hour or less. Some days it's great, some days 2 people show up and the building isn't quite as pristine-looking on Sunday as it could be. But it has ended up being kind of a fun addition to our ward's culture.Originally posted by Katy Lied View Post“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

I enjoy being in a ward where more than one family shows up to clean. Back in PA it was usually just my family, taking us in the neighborhood of 3 hours. In the handful of cleanups we've done in our current ward, there are 4-5 families and it's an hour's worth of work.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostComment

We had a 19 year old young man in our ward just join the military and ship off to boot camp. Just this past week, he received a personal letter from Robert C. Oaks, which I just thought was a cool thing."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

We still have the volunteer method for cleaning the church. The guy who got called is a 3/4 attender, but after he got his calling, his wife quit. I think she feels disrespected. I don't really blame her. If I'm ever independently wealthy, I'm going to hire a custodian company to come out once a week and clean the church.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

I learned in church yesterday that if the facilities people are in the middle of painting the interior of the building and have all the light switch and electrical outlet covers off, it's really easy to justify holding sacrament meeting, then cancelling the rest of the meetings for the day.
If I wasn't going camping next weekend, I'd be rooting for the paint job to last at least another week.Comment

Perhaps the men have all been "volunteered" to move a family into/out of the ward on Saturday morning or do someone else's yard work by assignment in the hope of reactivating them. Or maybe they are camping with the Scouts or helping one of them with an Eagle Project. Major Slacker is another possibility.Originally posted by Katy Lied View Post“Not the victory but the action.
