Made me smile.</i> President Charles A. Callis used to tell a story about the day missionary work went to the dogs, or at least to one dog. Unfortunately he doesn’t provide all the details historians would love to have – no date, for instance – but since it takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, we can assume it happened sometime between 1919 when he moved the mission headquarters to that city from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and early 1934 when his long tenure as mission president ended and President Callis returned to Salt Lake City. http://www.mormonlife.com/story/67429-serving-others-at-bishops-storehouse-in-georgia http://www.mormonlife.com/story/67429-serving-others-at-bishops-storehouse-in-georgia Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:04:00 -0700 <div> source: ldschurchnews.com </div> On Jan. 16, youth in the Atlanta, Ga., area were off from school and adults were off work in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. day. Many Latter-day Saints chose to spend the day serving at the bishops' storehouse in Tucker.<p>There were more volunteers than work to be done, so more work had to be organized in addition to filling food orders and loading trucks to deliver food to the metro area. Work was organized for the main warehouse, the cannery, cleaning, filling walk-in food orders and restocking shelves. Elder Gordon Hunter and Sister Brooke Hunter currently manage the storehouse and were delighted to be so busy from all of the volunteers who came to work.</p>
