Sunday Blunders

Usually my ward is really great. And people give great talks. But there have been a couple, of late, that have really raised the eyebrows.
Firstly, there was the guy that got up two weeks ago and said that Nephi was no "beef cake", and that we could discover these kinds of "crack-pot theories" if you read the scriptures. Nephi was studious in the scriptures and so therefore he couldn't be a beef cake.... The man said the words "beef cake" and "crack pot theories over and over again. I think we all were just waiting for the bishop to ask him to sit down. It was pretty touch and go the whole talk. Haha! he's a nice guy and all, just came across the wrong way. But just remember kids, if you read the scriptures you can come up with these crackpot theories too!

Then there was this girl who was talking about virtues. And how they have the i-t-y endings. She's listing a few and says we need virtues like, "charity, humility, and the virtue of fertility...uh I mean fidelity. Oh man..wow." That one was soo funny. The whole congregation had to pull it together. Then she went on and talked about her not so clean past. There's nothing like revealing past transgressions to make an audience feel uncomfortable. Poor girl.

Anyway, I hope we return to normalcy soon, Although it is entertaining. If you have had any funny Sacrament meeting slip ups please share!

Haha! Oh man. Honestly some people. When we were in Hawaii, there was a guy in there that thought he new everything and was relentless on levi's brother steve, who was teaching. The guy was saying all this weird stuff and everyone is kinda lookin around like, is this guy serious? Is he ever going to shut up?! He was making himself look like a fool. Anyway, Steve did a great job of holding it together along with straightening him out gentley and not making him feel dumb.
