Spoke yesterday on the phone with President Hinckley, who says there’s a lot of this [214] going around among the missionaries, and it usually hangs around longer than a day.
Still awaiting Brother Hasoppe’s arrival, with lots of propositions to present to him. He’s really got to accept one of them, this time: our situation is rapidly becoming hopeless. |
