Well it hasn't been the sh!tshow I was expecting with Oaks in charge now. Because I guess technically he's not in charge just yet. The church is being run by the Q12 for now? They kind of explained it yesterday. But whatever.

We're the best. No other church is as good as us! We are really cool!
I know it the story that surrounds the restoration and the Book of Mormon sounds utterly bat shit crazy. Please ignore all those stories about it that we told you in primary...we don't actually know how any of it came about, but no matter, it worked in my life, so please don't call it crazy because it hurts my feelings.

Hey Bishop! Give us an update…
Hey Red!
I'll have to make a new post with some more information. I was released a few weeks ago when our ward was closed as part of a multi-stake boundary change. Its really the best result I could have hoped for, I'm now coasting in a new ward/stake with no calling at all.
My DW is a newly called primary president, asked to bring order to chaos in a struggling primary.

Congrats! Somehow I just knew you’d shut the place down. I look forward to your update and testimony. Hope you enjoyed and learned something from your time as bishop. I’m sure you made your ward a better place for those seeking peace.

I agree, service missions are probably better than pros missions.
However, he must be so disappointed that Nelson died and didn't get to hear himself quoted every 30 seconds during this talk. This was your chance to implant the idea that you belonged in a bigger chair and now the person that it was directed at, isn't there to hear it and you have just spilled your precious seed on the ground.
