We have certainly grown fond of testimony meetings in North Idaho...especially this experience we had on Sunday. An older lady arose to share her thoughts and feelings. Bless her heart. Nick and I agree that we have never been a witness to such an event, but we both feel that now that we are out of the situation, it is something we can look back upon and laugh. So, this lady proceeded to advise us of certain things, and she was quite intense about it. She would raise her voice and stretch her arms out over her head, then put her hands together in front of her face and slowly lower them, much like unto yoga. Nick commented that it was much like an evangelical church meeting, and I had to agree. At one point, she pointed her finger at the congregation and firmly and sternly advised us to 'go to the temple! always put on clean garments in the morning!' I must say, we have never been advised to put on clean underwear in church before. It was quite the experience! She then abruptly ended her sermon with 'in the name of Jesus Christ.' Um...I was sure I didn't hear her correctly...but sure enough, she didn't say 'amen.' A few people mumbled an awkward amen as she proudly walked back to her seat. It was quite the experience! Moral of the story: wear clean underwear!!!
