Monthly RS Birthday visits for April were last night: darling cards by Peggy, and good smelling lotions from Target dollar spot. It is always an adventure of some kind!
Here are the highlights of the most interesting visits:
A kid answers the door and we ask for the mom. "She doesn't live here anymore." We ask if he knows where she lives? "Daaaaad...you better come here!" The dad steps outside. We ask for the mom again. He gets very quite and sad, even with a little tear glistens in his eye, "we got divorced two months ago and I don't have a forwarding address." Yes, I would say that was awkward.
A college age kid answers the door. We ask for the mom. "She's in New York." Oh, how long will she be there? "For a long time. Maybe forever and ever." Okay.
A very nice pony-tailed man answered the door and let us know she had moved to Lake Pleasant. He said he wished we were all there to see him. Just a little flirty, but we left with smiles on our faces.
And the winner: A man answers the door. We ask for the wife. "Who are you, why are you here?" We tell him we are with the Relief Society and we just wanted to wish her a happy birthday. "We haven't been to that church for years. We aren't associated with that group anymore. Do whatever you have to to get her name removed." Okay, we'll pass that along to the right people.

What a thankless and hard job! You are amazing to keep at it. I don't know how I would respond to some of that. Maybe that's why you are the RS Pres and I'm not:)
its interesting to have so many of thesame in one night. Keep up the good work, it sounds like a hard job.
I think that is so great that you do that! Don't give up on that sister :) If the church had given up on me I don't think I'd be active again today! Keep up the good work :)
