Domestic and unapostolic example of a "heart attack" |
“We really wanted to just tell Russell how much we love and
appreciate all that he does,” said Elder Andersen. “He has been so great since
I got here, you know, like showing me around and helping me feel like part of
the group.” Elder Andersen added, “you
know it can be hard when you join a new group, you know, since they already
have their friends that they do things with and some already have matching ties
and stuff.”
Reports from the church office building indicate that the
pink, red, and white hearts that covered Elder Nelson’s door included messages
like “Awesome Conference Talks” and “Cute Hair” as well as traditional
favorites like “U R Great!”
“We had some debate about what we would do this year, you
know, to really tell someone from the group how much we just love him,” said
Elder Oaks. “Elder Ballard wanted to ‘teepee’ his office.” (“Teepeeing” an office is when you fill the
interior walls with notes of love and encouragement shaped like stereotypical Native
American, mobile, triangular dwellings.)
Elder Oaks continued, “I told Elder Ballard that that didn’t sound like
a good idea, since we did that many years ago to Elder George P. Lee’s office,
and let’s just say it didn’t turn out good.”
There were other suggestions that were similarly passed
on. “Elder Packer thought it would be
hilarious to try to attach actual human hearts to (the cardiologist’s) door,”
reported Elder Holland. “And he would
have figured out a way to do it too,” elaborated Elder Holland, finally adding,
“that Boyd is just such a kidder!”
