Worst Missions Banquet Ever

It has been repeated in multiple conversations that I overheard over the last 12 hours. Here is the bulleted version.

  • The district found out that there were 50 more seats available yesterday. (The only problem was there really wasn't room for the fifty extra seats they crammed into the room.)
  • The hall was "L" shaped. So there was a whole half of the guests that couldn't see the other. The platform was in the corner. (bad)
  • They didn't turn the A/C on until the 500 people had already filled the room. (Hot as blazes)
  • The food was adequate, but a disaster to get because the tables and chairs were so crowded.
  • Then there was the food service. They ran out! Several tables never even got served.
  • The worst part is that all the distractions hindered the message of missions. No one walked away saying, "I need to make a difference in missions." Instead they walked away saying, "Let's go somewhere for better food, and to cool off." (a shame)
