Cra-Z Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I sent my papers in over a month ago now. I'm patiently waiting, it's taking forever.... I'll let you guys know where I'm sent as soon as I find out. But if it's not today I'm calling up the President to see what's up. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureen Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have some questions. What is the protocol for Farewells now? Do Missionaries still get a Farewell, who can talk and can there be a get together later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cra-Z Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I don't know the official answer to that, but I understand that there was some sort of notice given by out leaders regarding missionary farewells. I believe people were going overboard in dedicating sacraments meetings to the missionary about to leave with slideshows and all, so that has obviously been discouraged. But in my experience it is still very customary to have the missionary-to-be speak, sometimes along with a family member or 2. I think the key is that the sacrament meeting should not be about the young man, it just features him and is about standard topics. It's never against the rules for members to have a "get together." ;-) There just must be food. With approval from the Bishop or Branch President, there shouldn't be a problem having it in the meeting house either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
