Awkward Moments

Last Conference, 2nd session, we all watched as a number of seventy were sustained. One that I particularly noticed was Brother C. Scott Grow, an Area Seventy who lived in the ward I attend.

I also home teach this brethren...

The next Sunday, we headed over to their house and I gave the lesson on "Perseverance." We said our goodbyes, headed out the door, and drove to the Stake President's house where i gave the exact same lesson.

I must have the best (or worst) luck with who I home teach. I go to a seventy and a stake president in less than 5 minutes! You don't get much better than that.

I have wondered, as I move up and up the chain of people I teach, what it would be like to teach the Prophet. I'd imagine meetings would go something like this:

Jr. Companion: So, Mister Prophet sir, how has your job been going?

Prophet: Well, Kim Jong-il still won't let us in, but there has been progress.

Jr. Companion: Right...

Sr. Companion: Well, my son would like to share a few words about this week's First Presidency Message.

Jr. Companion: This week the prophet... er, I mean you... Wrote that, and forgive me if I miss interpret this, the symbol of our faith is (I really should have read this) (rustle of paper moving)... Our love!

Prophet: Well, I meant it to be more that...


You get the point.
