Full Day in Church for Elder Blackburn

We started with 10:00am Sacrament, then Sunday School, then Priesthood and Relief Society; then Elder Blackburn went to Manzini for District Presidency Meeting and Branch Presidents Training.  The leaders were informed that the Chapels will have to be cleaned by the members instead of paying a custodian.  They suggested paying themselves, they were told they could not do that; then they were told there were hidden blessings for those who cleaned the chapels; they wanted to know "what kind of hidden Blessings":  Elder Blackburn informed them that if he told them they would not be "hidden blessings", they must do the work to receive the blessings".  There were 6 baptisms in Manzini today, held after church;  they will be confirmed next Sunday.  Elder Blackburn got home at about 7:00pm and was able to talk with Brian Jr and was informed that his mission call is to Puerto Rico, San Juan; he leaves the 6th of October for the MTC.
