Contraband and Concubines

This Sunday, Allen and I were set apart into our new callings. He's the new Varsity Scout Leader and I'm a Sunbeam teacher. In my last Relief Society, a bishopric member brought me a ward directory, and I'm so glad. But apparently, getting a ward directory is a rarity in this ward because everyone around me started commenting and saying things like "you must be important because I've been asking for one for 4 years and I still haven't gotten one." I felt bad and kind of guilty. But I'm not sure why. But an easy solution was to go to the library and make copies, so I did. I made 5 of them and the librarian was also taken back by my having them. And she made one for herself. When I got back to Relief Society, I passed the copies...aka my contraband...to the ladies who wanted them and then went on with life.

Later that day as we were being set apart, another lady in the room that had witnessed me distributing my contraband commented as she was leaving "Watch out for this one (pointing at me), she passes out concubines in Relief Society." I was stunned. I can't believe she actually had said concubines in the bishop's office. She left and everyone was looking at me like "What don't we know about her?" I quickly explained the error, sheepishly and then they set me apart. I wonder if that lady ever realized what she said, or if that would explain her quick exit.
