This Saturday was a little different than most. We were to be at the church at 8:30am to meet with Elder Carl B. Cook, who is in the Area Authority Presidency and two other brethren who came with him. One is the area person in charge of planning and the other the area architect.
They were here to look how the building was doing, see if it was being kept up and looking good. They asked if it was in the right location, meeting the needs of the branch and taking into account the size and how long we thought it would meet the needs of our growing branch. They were very pleased with what they found. They said it was greatly improved from the time they came 2 ½ years ago. We had about ½ hour with them and Elder Cook asked various questions about number of members, how we were doing and what our greatest challenges are, etc. We had a quick, but nice visit with them.
After our visit we picked up Nteyi’’s…Nomsa who was going to the
RS enrichment meeting at 2pm. Mihle her daughter came to help with the
baby, however Rick put her to work build a small bookshelf for a member out in
the “workshop”. She did a great job.
While at the church, Rick found out one of the speakers for Sunday
wasn’t going to make it tomorrow, so Brother Canny will be speaking in his
place. Rick felt the need that both of us should also prepare just in
case. We spent the rest of the evening working on talks and other stuff
for tomorrow. Nice day!!!
