District Meeting in Crawley

Our last district meeting was held in Crawley (stake Centre) rather than here in Brighton. There were several districts together which made for a livelier discussion plus a rousing opening hymn. It’s great to be with these young people who are so courageous and full of the spirit.



Introductions



As we were discussing a scripture, in walked a disheveled elder who proceeded to tear his shirt off (with great difficulty). Of course it was an old one that he wore over his own shirt.

Elder Lam wrote in Chinese on the “title of liberty” the key words that are in the scripture.

Alma 46:11-13 
11 And now it came to pass that when Moroni, who was the chief commander of the armies of the Nephites, had heard of these dissensions, he was angry with Amalickiah.
 12 And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it—In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children—and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.
 13 ...and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat, (and he called it the title of liberty)




Afterwards we all went up and signed the title of liberty. It will be like a traveling trophy week to week, being awarded to the district with...well, I’m not sure what the criteria will be.
