It's December now and today was the last day of the ceremony's, and during the ceremony of 12 something strange happened. I was watching carefully since one of the children -Grace- often volunteered as a speaker and I was hoping she would be assigned as one. So I was very startled when the Chief Elder skipped right from 18 to 20! Number 19- I believe his name was Jack or maybe Jonas? Yes I think it's Jonas. Well Jonas, looked so worried I thought he might have a heart attack! When the Chief Elder got through the rest of the numbers I almost thought she had made a mistake. Finally though Jonas made his way to the stage.
Jonas was selected to be the receiver. I'm not entirely sure what it means but I remember when the last selection failed. I was only a sixteen back then, I didn't really know what was going on- all I knew was that something terrible had happened. I hope Jonas won't fail, but I have a feeling he won't- and maybe he will find something, something about outside the fence and about what the comfort objects are. I had pushed those thoughts away though, I shouldn't be thinking about outside.
