I’m in Priesthood Meeting. This branch has the same meeting order as in our
\nward in Pocatello. One of the missionaries here is from Pocatello. I’ll
\nfind out more later. We’re talking about lesson #2 in the David O. McKay
\nbook — right on schedule. There are 17 brothers here and one baby in a
\ncrib. The Branch President started Priesthood Meeting by making assignments
\nfor the opening and closing prayers in Sacrament meeting as well as who
\nwould bless and pass the sacrament. That’s one good reason for having psthd
\nmtg first!<\/p>\n
There’s quite a debate going on about something and I’ve no idea what it
\nis. Some fellows are quite involved in this discussion.
\nI’m actually quite tired. I’ll probably not take a nap, but will likely be

Priesthood is coming to an end. The arguement isn’t concluded as there are
\nstill a couple of side discussions. Oops, I just got called on to say the

\ngive me a clue…. The opening prayer was in English and the woman who gave
\nthe prayer doesn’t look like she understands any more than I do. <\/p>\n
The lesson seems to be about the founding of America so that the Church
\ncould be established. Some discussion about whether or not that could
\nhappen in America today because the government is so bad. I think there are
\nsome folks here with strong political feelings.<\/p>\n
Sacrament Meeting is now well underway. The Sacrament has been passed and a
\nyouth speaker is talking about free agency. The transmitter isn’t working
\nvery well but we’re getting the gist. The earphone is also very
\nuncomfortable as the earpads are gone and only the bare plastic plugs into
\nthe ears.<\/p>\n
The second talk is a young lady who played the piano to accompany the
\nhymns. She is talking about weaknesses and the necessity of faith. <\/p>\n
The rest hymn was True to the Faith<\/em>. The closing speaker talked ————————– I’m in Priesthood Meeting. This branch has the same meeting order as in our ward in Pocatello.

\nabout preparing for the 2nd coming. Then Church was over.
\nA couple of people recognized me from the last time I was here. That was
\ninteresting. I’m not sure I would remember someone from that long ago. <\/p>\n
