"Desperate times calls for desperate measures"

My ward has been withought a young men's president since we joined in January, it's so sad. If Matthew weren't here the young men would have to join the priesthood every Sunday. Anyway, due to the lack of leadership in our ward, I've had to take over Mutual for the young men, it's a little awkard but I really feel bad for them and Matthew doesn't have time to prepare good mutual activities every week. They've been either playing basketball or watching movies, nothing else. So I decided to really make this fun for them and do something that they would really benefit from and use in their lives. So I decided to have them bake brownies and learn proper table etiquette. They were really into the activity and were so willing to help out. When the brownies were ready you can see how proud they were of themselves and were excited to share with the young women.



They had a blast and were so grateful to have an actual planned activity for mutual. I spoke to the bishop that same day and told him that Matthew and I were leaving soon and that I was really worried about the young men in our ward. He promised to call someone before we left, so I won't stop bothering him until he does. It's just not right.

Rosalia, you are too cute. What a great activity. Hopefully the bishop will get someone called for them before you guys leave.
