Conference Weekend

So I met my best mate, Cory Neill at the conference center Saturday and we spent the entire day together, attending conference and talking to the protestors. By far, my favorite protestor is Ruben Israel, a painting contractor from Southern California. I've been following Ruben's proselytizing efforts for several years now, and though I don't agree with his assertions about Mormonism, I respect him for his courage to preach repentance every year amongst the revelers at Mardi Gras, Las Vegas, and other such places. He supports capital punishment and travels around the country to support the state sanctioned execution of murderers. He is also a strong conservative who stands up for Christian and American values. Though there are minor doctrinal points that may separate us, there is much more that brings us together in a common purpose to strengthen individuals, families, communities and nation through the teachings of Christ. Ruben's son recently graduated from UCLA, and he couldn't be more proud. Next time you see him at conference or anywhere else, stop by and say hello and thank him for his efforts.
