To: Abbottsville Fourth Ward From: Donna Banta Subject: Too busy for your emails Dear Abbottsville Fourth, Sorry, but I've been far too busy to read your emails 'cause I just attended the amazing ExMormon Foundation Convention. I blogged about it here  on Main Street Plaza.  Or read below: I first attended the ExMormon Conference in 2001. Back then it was held in Las Vegas. The event included two powerful open mic sessions, a couple of afternoon presentations that I admit I've forgotten, and a fantastic talk by Richard Packham. After Richard's remarks came an insanely irreverent "talent" show that featured a belly dancer, an actor who gave a convincing performance of  Brigham Young and various skits of dubious quality. (I landed the minor role of a drunken Primary chorister.) Oh yes, that reminds me. There was drinking -- plenty of drinking, thanks to an overflowing cash bar staffed by a tireless bartender. After the show, Brigham and the belly dancer left to ...

To: abbottsville fourth ward From: elder young, france paris mission Subject: the new mission ages are true! dear abbottsville fourth, It was one of those times when you'll always remember where you were when you heard. Like the moon landing or when we captured bin laden or when the monica lewinsky story broke. last saturday President Monson changed the age of full time missionaries from 19 to 18 for men, and from 21 to 19 for girls and cut their preparation time in the missionary training center. and where were comp and i?  sitting in the church on rue st. merri.  and what did we do when the news broke?  me, comp and all the other elders lept in the air, gave each other high 5's, ran out onto the rue st. merri and did a little happy dance all the way to the george pompidoo center and back. WOO HOO! :-)))))))))))))))) hahahahahaha only after that we were kind of bummed because that horse faced sister missionary and some other old maids were acting all bossy and prideful a...

To: Abbottsville Stake From: Dennis Newsome, Stake Public Affairs Council Subject: Yay! We won! Woo-hoo! The Public Affairs Council of the Abbottsville Stake couldn't be more pleased with the results of last night's debate. But we must extend our apology to the faithful members of the Abbottsville Stake. Boy were we were wrong. Fasting was enough! Sure  Daniel C. Peterson  deserves credit for providing Romney with an apologetic version of his proposed tax cuts. And it turned out that  Elder Henry B. Eyring  served as a pretty good stand-in for Obama during the practice debates. (Who knew?) But in the final analysis, the real credit goes to you, the faithful rank and file members of  the one and only true church, who ensured Romney's victory through prayer, fasting, righteous living and obedience to the gospel.  How else could a candidate so lacking in logical arguments, ideas, basic communication skills, humility, sincerity and actual answers to the questio...
