Why don't you ask the Bishop, and get his council. You can call him up and ask.

Is there a reason not to?

Well the man does have a cane so..

[Pegtagatha]

Is there a reason not to?

Because I'm a girl visting 3 strange men alone at night in a house.

You knew the answer all along - unless the missionaries had already asked another sister in the ward to accompany you. Again, ask the Bishop - ask the missionaries if there will be another woman there. if not, then tell them no you can not go.

Edited to say: Peg - you are a far cry from being a girl, you are 27 years old. You are a Single Young Adult- do you attend a Singles Ward?

Unless the rules have changed since I was on a mission, the answer is NO! Not kosher at all.

How do I find the Bishop's contact?

I haven't heard of such, they have not told me about it.

Take a friend...a girlfiend. I know they would like two people to teach. Or, ask if they can do it at a sister's house.

I'm not sure if all are the same but on the back of the program we receive as we enter the chapel on Sunday there is a list of names and phone numbers. The Bishop's name and number is listed first.

You could also call the Relief Society president, her number should be on this list, too. She might go with you or be able to get another adult woman member to go. You never go by yourself. There always has to be another adult woman.

There might not be a Young Adult Ward in your area. If you can not find the Bishops phone number on your Sunday program, then ask the missionaries for it. Ask your missionaries for the name and phone number of the Relief Society President.

Yes, I am a 27 yearold woman. They changed the location to church. Now, I feel so ashamed and so embarrassed.

I have learned some lessons from this.

Church rules state that there must be 3 men (at least 1 an Elder or High Priest) present if they are meeting with a single woman, this is for protection on both sides. There is nothing un-kosher about it. There are rules against 2 missionaries meeting with a single woman. There have been many times the missionaries have asked me to go along with them to an appointment with a single woman, just so they could go and teach.

However if anyone feels uncomfortable about a situation they should not get into it.

If i were a bishop i would advise no. And not because we do not trust the missionaries, but because it is not right.
