–Bring Back Fun. We used to have fun in our wards. There were activities, road shows, campouts, etc. It seems like since we cut the activities committee, the only “activity” is cleaning the building. People want a sense of community at church. Bring back the linger longers! I like fun, but I can be overwhelmed by social stuff pretty easily. I am an introvert socially, and it takes more than it used to to overwhelm me socially. Plus, there are people I am not sure I want to hang out with. My R.S. is good about having low-key activities. They have a quarterly birthday party (which I usually wind up missing, but appreciate), and activities like deserts/adult coloring before the Women’s broadcast. I appreciate the fact that our R.S. cinnamon roll making for Father’s Day was fairly low-key.

I’m glad some people picked up on the dullness/boredom thing. I have been to some dreary talks in my time and priesthood can be painful in sone places.If I was going to stay home, I think being bored out of my wits would be an even bigger repellent than JS treasure hunting or even sexism (sorry ladies, I’m not unsympathetic).
The worst are often when someone is asked to read out a general conference talk. Any charm the original had vanishes.
I debate about hiding in the nursery with my 13 month old during Gospel Doctrine and R.S. (but I haven’t because for Gospel Doctrine my husband feels he needs me at his side and makes a big stink at home, and the nursery becomes the 3-4 year old classroom 3rd hour – shortage of nursery leaders and rooms). I am not fond of D&C, and the teacher I found enthralling last year I find boring this year. I was called to teach R.S. for a month (before re-assigned to Primary) and I loved it. It was my favorite calling ever. And now we have 3 struggling sisters whose lessons don’t engage me. I attend for the comments from our R.S. leadership, and the 1x a month they teach. I can understand being a guinea pig for an unskilled teacher 1x a month as a way to help them be better teachers, but all 3 of them?
