Heaven forbid we have some poorly dressed people at church.

I dot mind them being poorly dressed. I mind that we force them to wear something they don't know how to wear. They should be able to wear whatever they want without guilt.

My feelings exactly. Missionaries rarely have nice suits and the cheap look.....well really cheap. Come to think of it, we should stop encouraging bishoprics to wear suits because more often than not they are incredibly cheap and ill fitting. We have one bishopric counselor that has suit pants that are at least two inches too long and his suit jacket is so big it looks like a sheet on him. He's not poor, just horrible at dressing himself. I for one haven't worn a suit to church in over 5 years and the suits I own are decent quality and have been tailored to actually fit me.

In Paris, we were allowed to shed the jacket from May to September. In fact, having to wear a suit jacket everyday in the winter was likely the cause of my unwillingness to wear a suit jacket to church now and into the future.

I wear a suit jacket every Sunday mainly so I don't look like the RM's and other young dorks.

Mormon missionary impostors...

A couple of fellows aroused the suspicion of a Lake Forest resident on Saturday, apparently because of their good deeds and suspicious dress.

According to Orange County Sheriff’s Department logs, the two lads were wearing white shirts and black pants.


And, according to the informant, they were posing as Mormons.


What apparently made the two impostors particularly suspicious is that, during the heat of the day, the two gents were offering lemonade and Kool-Aid to residents.


No word on whether they had their bicycles with them.


Perhaps the whole thing could have been avoided if they had chosen to offer a different beverage, maybe coffee or a well-caffeinated soft drink.

If any of you own Mr Mac stock, I recommend you dump it ASAP.

This is the first thing I thought of. Mr Mac is doomed.

Why? Does someone suddenly buy the way he buys? Sell the way he sells? Must have missed that news.

Will this bring on the Far Far Suit Sale? Far people can share one arder?

I see this as a positive step. A concrete step toward elimination of the missionary program.

Hehe... which mission was this? Idaho?

Germany Munich. A LONG time ago.

I have it on very good authority that Elder Uchtdorf and his family in Germany have a penchant for Diet Pepsi...

During stake conference on my mission the stake president spoke about riding the bus to visit a ward on a Sunday. It was a very hot day (Guatemalan coast) and when the bus stopped for a quick break at a small store - the only cold drink they had available was Coke. He was sorely tempted, but decided against it because it was Coke and had caffeine.

He stayed thirsty until he got to the meeting and got a drink there. But he was relieved that he hadn't drank Coke when he arrived at the meeting and discovered that one of the families traveling on the bus with him were LDS and would've seen him drinking the Coke. The moral of the story being - you never know when you are being watched. So you shouldn't sin (by drinking Coke) when you don't think anyone is looking.

In my own mind I always wonder if, when he is speaking on keeping the Sabath Day holy, he changes the story so that he was glad he didn't purchase a drink because it was Sunday instead of because it was Coke.

The rule in my mission was you had to wear suit coats to meetings and dinner appointments. Those were the only required times. I wore sweaters a lot during the winter.

Frankly, I don't remember the rule.

I think I wore my suit coat on Sunday from about November until March or April. We had a GA show up once, and wore it then. I think we wore it to conferences in the winter too. Mostly I didn't wear a suit coat all that much.

In the mountain areas, where it would get into the 40's or 50's, I would wear a sweater - or even a leather jacket. Rarely my suitcoat outside of Sunday.

Our rule was easy: En la capital, suits on Sunday and to Zone Conference. Outside the cap, no suits, period.
