The Deep End of the Pool

Posted by Brian


Last week I was called to be the Second Counselor in the Branch Presidency. This morning the Branch was to meet in a new Chapel a ways from the old one. I thought it would be nice if I waited at the old Chapel until just before services and drive anyone who may not have heard about the change to the new chapel. When I and one other Brother arrived at the new meeting house I found the meeting not started yet and no other of the Branch Presidency present. Also I was informed that one brother had to deploy in a few minutes on a convoy to Lashgagar or somewhere and could we do the Sacrament quickly so he could participate. Went like this: I gave the opening prayer and then we had the Sacrament song followed by the Sacrament. All in about 5 min. I then proceeded introduce myself. Luckily Brother Firsdon had a talk prepared. 
I got back to my email this evening to find emails from Pres. Snipes and First Counsellor Brother Smidt saying they would not be there today as they were on forward ops in Greshk. 
Sink or swim Brian, sink or swim.
