Stake BBQ


Great hamburgers!!! I'm glad Krista wanted to attend. I REALLY hope I'm wrong about what happened tonight. Krista and I got there on time. Bishop was sitting to the side as we approached. He didn't say hi to us AT ALL but left quickly like he was avoiding us. We sat on the front bench near the stage. He gave the blessing on the food and the opening prayer. Surely he would come and say hello to us-especially as we were the only people FROM HIS WARD THERE YET. NOOO that didn't happen. I asked Krista if she knew why the bishop didn't come and say hi to us. She said maybe we were supposed to say hello first. This is EXACTLY what happened when I saw Devin, my Elder's Quorum president, at the Republican Caucus. NO EFFORT whatsoever to say hello, to acknowledge my existence-it is why when Sarah asked about him Jonni talked about how great he was and I said I didn't think much of him. The nice thing about this is today I was with another minority or Krista sooo it was very clear bishop's minority members were there AND it was also very clear he didn't want  ANY interaction with us whatsoever.

Would either of them say hello if I was white???!!! A small thing that could mean nothing OR everything. I'm glad it's Fast Sunday coming up. I can't wait to bear my testimony, fast and pray about this BEFORE having to see him about this. I REALLY don't know what to do if I have a racist bishop.        Wow!!! This is truly freaking me out.
