I went to the Sunday meeting the other day when it was the COs visit, hubby is an elder and i go from time to time just to show my face and say hello to old friends. Anyway, I was sat at the back after the meeting and the CO comes out, looks straight at me and plonks himself down beside me. However, he was really nice, Introduced himself, siad you're ***** wife aren't you'? When I said 'yes' he said it was lovely to meet me and just went on to say how much he liked my son, that he did lots of kind things behind the scenes (helping out a disabled brother and a young family) and he thought what a lovely young man he was. He never said anything about me being inactive, or missing lots of meetings. He was very nice.
I've told my husband that anyone is welcome to come back for tea or coffee as long as they don't try to get me to come back. I've had some knocking on the door to say hello and if anyone tries anything I just nod politely and smile and change the subject. Works quite well LOL. Usually they just like to pass the time of day.
