I was going through my mission box o'crap, still deciding what I should do with all the stuff from my days in Brasil. I have a few dozen letters that I sent home but can't find the letters that I received and kept; they'd be much more interesting to me now. None of my family has any interest in this stuff.
I also have some photos of members and elders I knew in a scrapbook and some other stuff that is interesting to look at but of no value. Still can't put my hands on my journal but I think it will show up sometime.
I found a couple of weeks ago one of those pocket-sized hymnals, in almost new condition. I have no musical talent and have no clue where I got it or who gave it to me. I wouldn't have paid for it myself. I wrote my name and address on the inside page but that's the only thing.
I decided that I'd see if there was any book collectors on eBay that might be interested and sure enough, after a week of being listed there I sold it for a whopping $5.99 plus shipping—after paying for shipping, I’m going to net about $4.00.
The address it’s going to is a PO Box in Hilldale, Utah which is the headquarters for the Fundamentalists. Makes me wonder if it’s just a collectible or if they still use that old style book on a regular basis.
