The Forgotten

So, today I got left… I ran to the bathroom right after the meeting for service for just a minute. When I came out, the Hall was locked up. I text messaged Jennifer. I then waited, hoping that someone would be coming to unlock the door. Well, what I heard next was the truck leaving. I guess no one even noticed that I wasn´t there. Talk about a self esteem booster. ha. I then messaged Nathan. I waited. And waited. They weren´t coming back. I remembered that my neighbor (right beside the hall) didn´t meet for service. Since she has a key to the hall,she was my answer or I would remain trapped. Hoping that she was still at home, I opened a window and yelled her name. It took a couple times, but she finally came out. She couldn´t figure out where I was yelling from. ha. It came as a bit of a surprise to her, too, that I had indeed been locked up and forgotten about. Oh what a great way to start the day! ha.

(On a side note…my neighbor, Elke, had been reading an email from a study when I was calling her. The email told of how her study was having a problem with demons. Needless to say, when Elke couldn´t see who was calling her, she became a little worried. Thankfully that didn´t last for too long. Her fears were allayed when she finally saw me in the Kingdom Hall window. ha)

    Oh pobrecita. The only thing I can think to say is “good lands!” Anyway, now that you mention it another sister told me that she and a friend were dropped at a call today (15th), the sister driving left and went to the restroom, and proceeded to forget where she had dropped the others off. She apparently drove around for several minutes trying to find them (and drove right past the sisters waiting for her on the street). They finally reconnected though. I thought I’d had a weird start to my day, but yours beats mine, Melissa!
