Every Sunday morning for the last two years, Elder Robert Thomas and his wife, Sister Carol Thomas, have caught a boat from their home in Long Beach, California, to Catalina Island at 10 a.m. At 11:30 a.m., they set up the chairs and tables required for a sacrament meeting in an upstairs conference room in the U.S. Bank in Avalon. They bring their own bottled water since the building has no drinking fountains. They also bring a couple slices of bread — more than enough for the typical attendance of seven or eight people, including themselves.
