This is an interesting video of an evangelical pastor and his wife, Joy. They tell of their experience attending General Conference, the semiannual meeting for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which was held last weekend. I enjoyed watching it! I hope you do too. Watch below.
I love that they say that their favorite moment was the children’s choir, when the choir sang the song, “Gethsemane” by Melanie Hoffman. (I’ve blogged about the backstory of the song with the link to the sheet music here.) My son is friends with one of the members of the choir, a young man age 12. We happened to see him at a homeschooling class a week ago on Wednesday, where he told us he would be singing in the choir. So to think that this young man, Nathan, was part of the choir that touched the pastor’s heart warms my heart. (My favorite moments of Conference are over here.)

I also loved that Pastor Jeff met David Boice, the guy I blogged about over here. He’s the guy who checked out 52 churches in 52 weeks to decide what church to join. It’s nice to see a pastor and his wife genuinely curious about my church, and genuinely respectful of my beliefs. We can agree to disagree and all be kind to each other. (Btw, does anyone else think Pastor Jeff looks like Matt Meese? Watch below and see if you agree. Matt’s the guy with the Union Jack shirt.)
