Ahhhhh. I was thinking you were somehow making Sheep begin with C. Which didn't make sense.

That makes me sound like sewer water, haha.

That just destroys the acronym.

Yeah, it makes it quite TAACky.

I'm actually kind of surprised for this answer that nobody realized that missionaries occasionally serve as branch presidents and yet do not get ordained high priests. My home stake has twice as many branches as wards (yay Midwest!), and the branches apparently have very few high priests--only people who moved in or people who have had stake callings.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I thought MSJ might have seen that during her own mission, but I guess not. How common is it?

[yayfulness]

Anymore? Probably not too common, but I know it still happens sometimes. Trivia: A guy I used to work with served in Malaysia. He told me that there is actually a Church administrative unit smaller than a branch, and he served in one. It technically was part of another branch, but they had a separate sacrament meeting and basically functioned separately. When he and his companion got sent there to essentially set it up, I think there was one member. By now, I think it might be an actual branch.

Yeah, in my mission there were only high priests if there was a ward. I only saw one branch that had high priests in it, and that was because it had been a ward, and they were the old bishopric.

I know you can get special permission to bless and serve the sacrament in someone's home or in other locations. (Our extended family did that once at a camp for a family reunion.) Maybe they just had ongoing permission to do something along those lines for this particular member.

Katya, that isn't unusual at all. Most wards do that on a regular basis for shut-ins.

Good point. I guess I was thinking it was unusual for situations other than for the home bound.
