I have a little energy about this area of service. Maybe I need to change but..... I've been an EQ pres and now I'm the youngest guy in in the HP in a great ward that is very large. The church is great here in Vegas but, this practice of moving people especially last minute needs to stop - except for the rare exception.... Our bishop requests that new move ins organize everything themselves. If they need help, they need to call members and friends themselves. But that dosent seem to stop some people. As for me, I'm not the type to ask the church to help. Its my move and my furniture to move. With the potential of liability and damage that happens it really can cause big problems. Its kind of crazy when you see people moving all the time. I'm going to make the prediction that this whole business of moving people in and out will end soon anyway.

If my husband doesn't wreck and kill himself and my son, they will probably break their legs on this woman's hillside driveway. What is wrong with these freakin' Mormon morons?

Has this guy ever helped anyone move again? I'd say getting shot in the leg while serving is a pretty good excuse to never do it again!

He had the strange urge, which he followed, to ask if she had packed a gun. She said she had, but not to worry about it, it wasn't loaded.

They almost always need service hours. Sisters can help pack and clean and elders are young and energetic. We also find that the full-time missionaries are great to help with moves.

We assume, though, that HPs moving into or from the ward have it covered by an employer. Although my anecdote about the idiot double-dipping on his relocation check was a HP in his early 30s.
