I learned in church today

[Clark Addison]

My freshman year we bumped into Haight at the mall across from Temple Square staring out the winding "waiting for [his] ride". He chatted us up for a while and was always one of my favorites after that.

That reminds me of the time we ran into Jay Jensen waiting for a bus while I was in the MTC on a P-Day. He grilled us on what our personal scripture study had been and questioned our excuse for taking a bus off the MTC campus (which was allowed back in the old days). Fun guy.

I've been a big fan ever since I got a personally signed picture of him on my mission.

I learned yesterday that if you randomly walk up to the pulpit between speakers and start giving your testimony, my bishop will actually let you go for a few minutes. However as soon as you mention Obama, the Stake President will intervene and ask you politely to sit down reminding the congregation to wait until fast Sunday.

Has this person done this before?

No. Unfortunately my ward lacks crazies. We recently (about 4 months) had a new street added to our ward boundaries. This person was part of the old ward. I am not sure if this was a common occurence in the old ward or not. But my bishop seemed to almost expect it.

The little ward in Maine I grew up in had a guy who would interrupt people during fast and testimony and tell the congregation that the Lord revealed that the speaker was a sinner and needed to repent. It was awesome. He did it three times (twice to the same dude). I felt terrible for the speaker, and even worse for the the "prophets" kids, but it addes some spice to otherwise bland meetings.

I enjoy characters like this. We had an autistic kid give a sac meeting talk a couple of weeks ago where he interjected a bunch of random jokes and gave the entire talk in a british accent. But we all know and love the kid, so it was cool.

I think that is great.

I did have a kid sitting across the aisle from me start singing the Wonder Pets song at the top of his lungs as the sacrament was being passed. The entire congregation was laughing.

Had a youth speaker get up and explain the lessons he had learned from Tarzan: the musical, as performed by the Hale Center Theater a while ago. That was fairly entertaining, in a wth kind of way.

I always try to order at drive-thrust and places in various accents, but I'm so bad at them that I start laughing like a lunatic.

That's OK, HFN. We all know and love you.

What do you generally order at a drive-thrust? Sounds a little risqué.

I learned that my bishop is a homeless man.

Not my bishop; not my story but how I wish this had shown up on board. Interesting concept but I think the execution is set up just to embarrass people. Pretty weird story.

That. Is. Awesome.

Bishop Musselman received varied reactions to his appearance in the church building. At least five people asked him to leave the property, some gave him money and most were indifferent to his presence.

“Many actually went out of their way to purposefully ignore me, and they wouldn’t even make eye contact. I’d approach them and say, ‘Happy Thanksgiving,’ many of them I wouldn’t ask for any food or any kind of money, and their inability to even acknowledge me being there was very surprising,” Bishop Musselman said. “It made me think of the category of people that … the Savior has the most difficult time with. That’s the people that are lukewarm. That really don’t take a stand either way.”

Most of the children in the congregation were curious and wanted to give to the “homeless man” the bishop appeared to be.

It is a catchy tune....

One that cracks me up now (Looking back as a Missionary is the Blues Clues "Mail Song".)..
