I learned in church today

[DU Ute]

Per priesthood orientation tonight, Scouting is part of the gospel.

If that's the case, I'm out.

So Christ didn't have the fullness of the gospel when he was on earth.

It's just not mentioned in the gospels. I understand Scouting is covered in sealed portions of the BofM.

It will be a part of the gospel until it is no longer a part of the gospel.

So your saying it never really existed?

You need to start another thread on your discoveries in that regard.

Bro Olsen could go out on the streets and find 40 Hobos who would make better priesthood holders than those of us in the congregation. No argument here.

That got a laugh out of me. Can you give us some context to the statement, or is that just how he always feels about your quorum?

That was from the pulpit.

He said his mission president had told him something like "I could go out on the streets right now and find hobos that would be better missionaries than you." Apparently some of the sister missionaries took exception to the mission president's statement, believing that they were, in fact, pretty darn good missionaries.

Then I stopped paying attention so I could post what I'd learned on CUF.

During opening exercises to priesthood, they were saying something about becoming better priesthood holders. I leaned over to Bro. Hansen and said they should just replace us with hobos.

Holy crap! I think we're in the same ward. I know brother Hansen too.

That's amazing!

RIP, Huell.

Yeah well try teaching it.

Amen. Usually I try to guide the direction of the conversation, but yesterday I just let it go where it wanted to speaking up every once in a while for appearances.

I learned that when the executive secretary calls you on Saturday because a member of the bishopric wants to meet with you the next morning, 2 1/2 hours before church that said appointment might be "just to see how you're doing." What a strange meeting and a seeming waste of time. The first counselor made special mention that I have about 3 months left in my ward missionary calling and he wanted to encourage me to reach out to some of the newer called missionaries to ensure that the transition was as smooth as possible.

My wife didn't believe me when I told her that there was no new calling. I like to think that he was going to extend a super important calling to me but when I showed up yesterday in a purple shirt and purple tie, he decided I was too big of a risk.

It does make me a little nervous for three months down the road though.

I learned that GBH switched locations for the VAncouver temple at the last minute. He wanted it on a plot of land that seemed very difficult to procure, hwoever the church was able to get the land and permits in a very short time. It was truly inspiriational to all that participated in the land search.

It's an interesting contrast with what GBH did in Paris, which was to also select a plot of land. Over ten years later and several other locations the church finally got a place for the temple. I guess God likes Canadians better than the French

I'm still trying to make sense of what this means for French Canadians...

That's funny, I didn't realize snafu was an acronym. I think the word may have transcended its origins.

I think I was right. I also think it has lost its vulgarity. Evidence of this is its use in journalism.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

The heads were originally shipped from the United States to Rome for medical research, and they were then shipped back again to be cremated, Paleologos said. She said she doesn’t know the name of the cremation service or where the heads began their journey in the United States.

Although initially there appeared to be a greater issue with the crematorium, it turned out to only be a paperwork snafu, according to a source familiar with the situation.
