In 2003, I wrote a letter to the church telling them I am no longer a member, saying I wanted to be removed, and wanted no further contact towards me or my (then minor) children. I sent a copy to the bishop of my ward back then. I got a letter from SLC stating my name was removed from the rolls and I am no longer a member and would not be contacted.
Eight years have passed and I have had no contact. Awesome. As my kids turned 18 they occasionally got a mailer from BYU or an invite to some church thing, but not too often, and they weren't interested. (They were all baptized at 8 but are not at all interested anymore).
So, yesterday I get a paper slip in my mailbox. It says there is a certified letter that requires my signature for delivery. It will be returned to sender if I do not go pick it up and sign for it. It says, sender's name: "Bishop Baxter."
Now, I am assuming this is the current local Bishop of the ward I was in. Not someone I ever heard of before. Why would they be sending me a certified letter that requires my signature? Any ideas? I figure it can't be anything wonderful, so I will probably not pick it up and just let it return to sender.
