Small step.
10

Laughter.
11
:
First, let me.
12
:
We share with you an equation.
13
:
I was taught by our young missionaries.
14
:
E plus R.
15

Equals.

So the event.
22
:
The.
23
:
Event was.
24
:
Saturday.
25
:
I was to teach how to watercolor.
26
:
Gift cards.
27
:
The activity.
28
:
Is to start at.
29
:
At 10:00 AM.
30
:
And I'm there.
31
:
Other Cooley's there.
32
:
With me to help set up and it's nine 30.
33
:
We're unable I get the tables out,
cause they're locked away in a.
34
:
Closet and we can't get the key cause
we can't get ahold of the branch
35
:
president to come and open the door.
36
:
And.
37
:
Finally at 10.
38
:
other.
39
:
People start showing up to Help set.
40
:
Up at 10.
41
:
And.
42
:
, the sister.
43
:
Who I work with in.
44
:
Really Sandy kept.
45
:
Telling me, this is a bond to this.
46
:
The people.
47
:
This is a bond two time, which means.
48
:
Zulu.
49
:
For the people time.
50
:
And around 11.
51
:
We were starting to.
52
:
I get things a little set up.
53
:
Up and.
54

And if my sister's in charge of
the refreshments, Show up and.
55
:
What I see.
56

Ahead of.
58
:
Cabbage.
59
:
Big head of cabbage in a bowl.
60
:
And.
61
:
They start chopping.
62
:
Being away in the kitchen.
63
:
Kitchen.
64
:
So now it's 1130 and I suggest
maybe we get started and there's
65
:
a few people trickling in to the.
66
:
Chapel that we have
set up as the activity.
67
:
And.
68
:
We get started two hours late.
69
:
And we actually end up having.
70
:
A great I'm painting.
71
:
And this lunch.
72
:
Ginormous.
73
:
And.
74
:
And they have.
75
:
Chicken and cold SLA and rolls.
76
:
Kohl's and.
77
:
Cake and fruit salad.
78
:
Salad.
79

80
:
Now the activity's been going.
81
:
On for five.
82
:
Ours.
83
:
And I walk into.
84
:
To the chapel.
85
:
And this is, I have just a recording.
86
:
Unfortunately, you can't see the
video, but here is the recording.
87
:
Of what was going on.
88
:
I'm I'm I'm I'm
89
:
Yes, that was Zulu dancing and war cries.
90
:
And they moved away the tables and where.
91
:
Shaking it.
92
:
And I, all I could do was record.
93
:
I just.
94
:
I was done.
95
:
I was so done.
96
:
Eric.
97
:
And I went.
98
:
At home.
99
:
And.
100
:
And.
101
:
we had bought.
102
:
some.
103
:
goofy.
104
:
Glasses.
105
:
With the intention of calling.
106
:
Our family.
107
:
The members and.
108
:
Okay.
109
:
I heard this.
110
:
A long time ago.
111
:
Maybe you've already heard it,
but it's worth another chuckle.
112
:
So a lady goes into her psychiatrist
and the doctor says, well, Mrs.
113
:
Olson, We've talked about your high
blood pressure and your medications.
114
:
You were experiencing any
particular stress in your life.
115
:
And she says, oh yes, it's a Sunbeam.
116
:
They're driving me crazy.
117
:
Oh, the doctor says very
surprised the sun beams.
118
:
Yes.
119
:
I've never had trouble with them
before, but this group wants hit steel.
120
:
They bounce all over the room and they
run out the door and down the hall.
121
:
Ah, the doctor says have
you told anyone about this?
122
:
Of course I've told the president.
123
:
Oh, really?
124
:
What did the president tell you?
125
:
send me into like that.
126
:
I'm just going to have to
learn to deal with them.
127
:
The doctor's now more concerned.
128
:
What is he missing something?
129
:
I know people who are sensitive to
sun beams, does it cause you a rash?
130
:
Uh, rash.
131
:
No.
132
:
The doctor says, what's the
biggest problem they're creating.
133
:
The noise.
134
:
I just won't quit talking.
135
:
The doctor's astonished.
136
:
The sun beams are talking to you.
137
:
Well, yes.
138
:
But mostly they talk to each other.
139
:
Uh, Dr.
140
:
Scribbling on his chart.
141
:
I see.
142
:
Can anyone else hear them talking?
143
:
Oh, You're not LDS.
144
:
Are you?
145
:
I thought that was cute.
