I took my wife out for Valentine’s Day to her favorite places to Joann fabrics Fabrics & Hobby Lobby and then to lunch.
I have a habbit from my mission, I talk to a lot of people. I had a great conversation about Lent with a Greek Orthodox women while waiting in line to have fabric cut, I asked her about Lent and found out about their different calendar, she ask about me and I told her I am a Mormon, we are Christians too; I told her that the interesting thing she would find was the Mormons have the sacrament every week and about the 12, 14, 16-year-old boys and what they do, every week. She asked if we have any special celebrations. I told her about Pioneer Day parades. I told her that the part that she would find interesting was about the different organizational towers in Mormonism, about each congregation having their own relief society presidents and about the relief Society president, counselors and committee in Salt Lake. About the primary, young women’s, and young men’s towers as well. She said she really liked that and that was the most appealing thing about mormonism she’s ever heard. Her fabric-line number came up.
and then to take a nap
When I woke up I listen to the this
General Authority: Tells Mick Jagger About the Gospel
Have you heard the one about the Church leader who met Mick Jagger on a plane and proceeded to have a lengthy conversation about morality and the Church? In this story, Mick Jagger says he once took the missionary discussions, indicates that his music is “calculated to drive kids to sex,” and loudly calls the leader a liar for preaching about the truthfulness of the gospel. The leader then chastises Mick for his own lies, bears testimony of the gospel, and calls him to repentance.
Listen for yourself in this recording of the story, as related in an address given by Elder Gene R. Cook to Rick’s College in 1988. The story illustrates both a recognition of the Church by the famous and the unwavering conviction of Church leaders to the truth, even in the most uncomfortable of situations.
