Hattiesburg, MS—Since getting engaged to Melissa Stevenson,
area man Michael Probert has discovered a whole new world of LDS church
meetings. Probert, who joined the church at the end of his senior year at
Mississippi State, did not serve a mission, and in the 5 years since becoming a
member had only really been exposed to the 3 hour block of Sunday meetings.
“I’ve been the second counsellor in my ward’s Sunday School
Presidency for over two years,” said Probert, “but it has only been since I got
engaged that I have learned that there are two hour Stake Auxiliary Training
meetings every six months.” Auxiliary Training meeting is not the only church
get together that is new for Probert. “Oh,
yah, last month Melissa had us go to the Saturday evening adult session of
Stake Conference, so, yah, that was another new meeting.”
Probert, who previously found the 3 hour Sunday block “rather
longish” compared with the Methodist church he attended as a youth, recently “discussed”
his ever-expanding schedule of church meetings with his lovely fiancée. For her
part, Stevenson expressed the joy she felt seeing her parents attend their
various church meetings “several times each month beyond just Sundays.” While
cherishing his lovely “bride-to-be’s experiences,” Probert expressed his desire
to use each “entire Saturday” to prepare for Sunday. Both agreed to “table the
issue for now” and make out.
Though Probert is very, very happy with Stevenson, he still
does not realize that in 4 months he will be asked to drive 2 hours each way to
Mobile, Alabama on a Wednesday evening for a special 2 hour devotional with
Elder Holland nor does he yet know that, come April, there are Saturday
sessions of General Conference he’ll be asked to watch with Stevenson.
