We arrived at the branch building this morning at 9 am for seminary to find a parking lot full of yellow shirts. Tomorrow is Election Day in Tobago and the troops were gathering to motorcade up the island to Roxborough and then to Moriah and back to Scarborough. A huge truck full of speakers was also assembled, which was joined by a couple more as the morning progressed.
Just as we began sacrament meeting at 10:00, so did the music and the narrative from the parking lot. We struggled through the sacrament and dismissed at 10:20. (We were grateful for our PA system so we could hear the prayers) The troops outside started lining up and leaving the parking lot about 10:30. We all stood around trying to talk, since no one could leave the parking lot through all the vehicles full of rally attendees. The conversation was scanty because by now the music was full blast since the trucks of speakers were the last to leave. The road out to the highway was in gridlock, so we cut down through Scarborough, the opposite way, and then to the highway to our home, arriving about 11:30. Fortunately, we live the opposite way of Roxborough from the branch building.
The good thing, we are totally prepared for next week’s lesson and the sacrament meeting speakers are ready.
