*sigh* My brother's keeper?
Posted On 02/02/2009 11:56:53 by Jikei

So, background. I’m the YSA stake rep for my stake. So I’m supposed to be the one to facilitate everyone’s needs.

Our stake is big. I live in Burlington, tonight FHE is 45 minutes south of me in Montpelier. St Albans is 45 minutes north of Burlington.

There is a single young lady in our stake (we’ll call her “Daphne”). She lives in the St Albans area. She’s got a problem, she lies. A lot. All the time. From being born in Italy, to being adopted, to the Marines asking her to join them, to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir asking her to join them. To the Prophet asking her to go on a mission. To being away in Florida for the last 4 years (when she has been up in St Albans the whole time). To being a 4th degree black belt (impossible, since it takes years in-between each degree, and she’s not old enough). To claiming to speak another language, but being unable to write in it.  Etc etc. She also has a habit of being in an area, coming to activities, then not having a ride home (though she claimed she did have one lined up).

Alright, that’s the end of the history.

So Daphne was at church yesterday. I heard her telling her stories of being in Florida, and being from Italy (which she told to a guy who served his mission in Italy, so she kind of got stuck on that one). Any who, I got a call from another single just now saying that Daphne just got a hold of her, and wants to come to FHE. That she’s in Burlington (where I am), and needs a ride there.

*sigh*

I have no problem taking her there with me, when I’m on my way anyway. But if she’s not really living in this area, I CANNOT TAKE HER BACK TO ST ALBANS!

45 min down to Montpelier. Hour and a half to St Albans, 45 min back to Burlington. Cannot do it. I have 3 college course I’m taking and full time work. I cannot do that. However, I know that if I ask her if she lives in Burlington, she’ll say ‘yes’, whether she does or not. What do I do? I don’t want to tell her “you can’t come, b/c I don’t trust you”, but that’s basically how I feel.

Ideas?
