One of those terrorist wife's you mentioned has actually put a noxious gas in the ventillation system that feeds into the gym.

In the Felicita ward the quorum would meet on the stage. The class would sometimes be about 25 ½ people and we would be smashed together. But even with little room, I got to know my brethren. Even the ones I thought were goobers turned out to be interesting and fun people. I was more excited to go to the meetings and listen because I knew my fellow Elders were there for the same reason.Magnitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937403433913973120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26210330.post-1150448867385641132006-06-16T02:07:00.000-07:002006-06-16T02:07:00.000-07:00You hit the nail with your head this time, Bucko!W...You hit the nail with your head this time, Bucko!<BR/><BR/>When I first got married I was in the Twin Oaks Valley Ward. Their Elders Quorum meets in this teeny tine little room that is packed with chairs. Every Sunday there were more people than chairs and we had to find creative ways of rearranging the existing chairs so new ones would fit. Within 6 months I knew every one's name... and I'm really bad at remembering names!<BR/><BR/>When I moved into the Lake San Marcos Ward I really missed that room. Everything was easier in that room except for ignoring your fellow Elders.<BR/><BR/>Repeat after me: <B>The Cultural Hall is not a Classroom!</B><BR/><BR/>Elders are like gas. They smell bad (w00t Spencer!) and they expand to fill whatever container they are placed in. I don't enjoy Sunday School or Priesthood Meeting nearly as much as I did when they were taught in normal teaching locales. Everything about the cultural hall screams, "learning? What's that? The Spirit? Fuhgetaboutit!"<BR/><BR/>I have lived in this Ward for nearly two years now and I can only put names and faces together for about ten Elders in our Quorum. That's partly because there are constantly new people moving in, but that was the case in my old Ward, too. If anything, I knew the newer people better than the ones who had been there when I moved in.<BR/><BR/>I can't say that I do much to improve this situation. I sit two chars away from my neighbors and I tend to do my share of floor-staring during lessons, but I'm not proud of it, and I want things to change.<BR/><BR/>What can we do to improve this situation? I don't think activities are the answer since we have tons of those already. <BR/><BR/>This topic definitely could use further discussion. Thanks for having the guts to bring it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
