sunday school topic today was eternal marriage. somehow somewhere, as were busting through the lesson, someone joked about the missionaries being gay.

the missionaries, two very charasmatic kids sitting in the back row, laughed it up, and explained to the investigator that they really did have two beds in their apartment.

i was so shocked, pleasantly shocked, that this new breed of mormon isn't afraid of saying such a thing, that i turned around in my chair and said something to the effect that they would make great "eternal" companions.

it stuck. all ten people in the room laughed in a way you don't see mormons laugh too often, and now, once again, i'm the class clown of gospel essentials, meadows 5th ward.
