Elders Quorums aren’t moving companies. I get helping out every now and then for

EQ prez is asking for help moving a family in, right in the middle of the game.

Actually people may have to do it at a certain time. That's a silly statement.

If I'm the one they need a favor from, my schedule gets priority.
