At least Deacons aren't showing up
with blue envelopes.
Letter today in my mailbox, addressed to me, reads:
"Hi,
I'm in the Twentieth Ward that meets at 11am at the chapel on Second Ave. and G Street. I've just been called as coordinator for the activities (aid & resources) for the Singles age 31 and older. It's a undefinable job and my only qualification is that I can cook and own snowmobiles. I hope that enough skill for the job. (The Bishop has concern for your age group and thinks that's as good a recommendation as any.)
I don't exactly know who you all are. I hope to remedy that. With that end, [Name Withheld] and I want to start making the rounds to meet you all, and maybe get some ideas, recruits and preference. (I'm hoping that MYOB isn't the most prevalent one.)
Well, looking forward to that time, I'll close. Call if you want input before I get to you.
Thanks,
[Name and phone number withheld.]"
Two questions, WHO TURNED ME IN? and Who wants to go snowmobiling with the over 30s? Anyone?

Sounds like fun. Unfortunately, I don't think I qualify. I feel sorry for the person called by the bishop to share his or her snowmobiles that he or she does not know.
I got turned in lately as well. Got a call from a "sister" who wanted to make sure she had the right phone number and address for me. There's no mystery surrounding my situation, though. My parents live only to bring the world His truth.
Snowmobiling AND cooking.
You're over 30?
Gross!
My sister always rats me out. When I get those letters I know it's time to move.
Your mom, maybe? I dunno. Weird. Are you going to reply? Or just turn off the lights and duck when you see a dude with a tie coming up your sidewalk?
hjustin,
I'll confess. It was me. But uncle Jimmy put me up to it.
If I could make a suggestion: Show enough interest so that there is a never-ending supply of baked goods coming to your door.
If you don't want the calling, just tell them, but do it gently so the chocolate chip cookies keep rolling.
Your brother in the gospel,
BN
P.S. I always thought you love the comfort of strangers!
