Tenants Get The Bishop To Pay Rent!
I got an envelope from the Jesus Christ Church Of The Latter Day Saints in the mail today. In it was a check for 1 month’s rent for a property in Utah. Apparently, the tenants were so scared I was going to evict them, that they somehow convinced the Bishop of the local ward to make the payment for them! I knew these Mormons were a tight-knit bunch of religious zealots but this really took me by surprize.
I’ve been trying to evict these tenants for quite a while now. Everytime they manage to make a payment, even if it is late. This time I guess God’s representative foiled my plans!!!

Sounds like they’re using the LDS church welfare system. It’s setup so that members (in good standing) can get financial help from their local ward when they are struggling. They are expected to pay it back when or if they can, however, I think. Not quite the same treatment as the federal welfare system! Pretty cool, actually.
