"It Must Be Halloween"






Sister Oldham is below, she is such a sweetie! Mother of 7, grandmother of 32.


Today was a crazy day at the office. It all started when we were the first to arrive and Elder Henderson punched in the wrong security code. The alarm went off, the phone started ringing, then security police arrived on the scene. The three of us had a good laugh, him all dress like a one man swat team.
Then all the elders arrived and we had 15 of them coming and going at the same time. Amid all this, a group of elders wanted to walk to the office. When they were let in at the security gate and a young man dress somewhere between a circus clown and a beat nick followed them in. He claimed he was there to help out the painters, who are presently painting our building. I thought he looked a bit fishy. One of the elders thought he was just an elder dressed for "P" day. Oh My Goodness! Anyway, as I watched him from my window I noticed he was acting a bit strange. He claimed he wanted some water for his bottle to drink and rinsed it about six different times. Then he walked in the shed that sits on the property. Pretty soon he has hauled boxes out of the shed and was putting them all in a big black garbage can with 2 inch letters on it saying LDS. Off he goes....yes that is right......he was there to rob us, right in front of the 15 elders all mingling in and out of the yard. He must of been very experienced to have such gall. In the end Elder Oldham spoke with him, called the police, got the guy to repent, admit that he was there to steal and say he was sorry. So Elder Oldham sent him off with several items from the shed that he was planning to get rid of anyway. The moral to this story. "If you want to rob someone, look for Elder Oldham and say you are sorry."
