signing on for saturday

 When I am doing my missionary work, I often see messages from one of the supervisors that say “Please help and go available”. Shortly thereafter, several missionaries will post messages. “This is Elder S0-and-So or this is Sister So-and-So signing on.”

This week our Bishop received a verbal message that said something like “please help”.  As the Supervisor of our ward he asked some of the members to “go available.”  Saturday morning at the chapel, we were divided into four teams to prepare our chapel. It was the first of many opportunities we will have to do this kind of service. It was unique in that we were doing some jobs that won’t have to be done again, for example, unpacking all the dishes and utensils in the kitchen.

When we finished  Bishop Saunders could have said, “This is Eustis Ward Support signing out. Anyone need anything else before we go? Have a joyful Sabbath.”

He didn’t, but he did say something similar…and we will.
