Dieter Uchtdorf's.Anyone have any favorite talks from this weekend?
I know you find him attractive!!!Dieter Uchtdorf's.
I liked Elder Holland's talk a lot, too. Other than those two, nothing really stood out as outstanding to me.I know you find him attractive!!!
That is cool! Remind me of the story.Elder Uchtdorf mentioned my uncle by name. That was pretty cool.
Going through old posts and realized I never responded to this:That is cool! Remind me of the story.
And, by the way, it's great to see you again. I wish you'd stick around instead of disappearing for a few years, as I suspect you're going to do.
During the 150th anniversary of the pioneers’ arrival in the Salt Lake Valley, Brother Myron Richins was serving as a stake president in Henefer, Utah. The celebration included a reenactment of the pioneers’ passage through his town.
President Richins was heavily involved with the plans for the celebration, and he attended many meetings with General Authorities and others to discuss the events. He was fully engaged.
Just before the actual celebration, President Richins’s stake was reorganized, and he was released as president. On a subsequent Sunday, he was attending his ward priesthood meeting when the leaders asked for volunteers to help with the celebration. President Richins, along with others, raised his hand and was given instructions to dress in work clothes and to bring his truck and a shovel.
Finally, the morning of the big event came, and President Richins reported to volunteer duty.
Only a few weeks before, he had been an influential contributor to the planning and supervision of this major event. On that day, however, his job was to follow the horses in the parade and clean up after them.
President Richins did so gladly and joyfully.
He understood that one kind of service is not above another.
He knew and put into practice the words of the Savior: “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.”9
