Do you think when the GAs are having meetings during the week they refer to each other by their full names?

I imagine them all sitting around a desk and one of them says "Well is everyone here, can we get started?"

Another replies "Nope we are still waiting for Richard G. Scott"

Then another "I got a text from Richard G. Scott, he said he is running late, but David A. Bednar isn't here yet either, so we should probably wait."

Then another says "What do you think Our Beloved Prophet Thomas S. Monson?"

Monson says "I think we should wait for Richard G. Scott and David A Bednar before getting started."

Seems a bit ridiculous, but then again, pretty much everything in the morg is ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure the Q12 refer to Elder Scott by his more familiar name, Dick.

No, the 15 use just their first names. But for some reason, missionaries are instructed to call each other Elder/Sister ______ due to the nature of their calling.... I never understood that.

Had an awkward moment as a kid when the missionaries were over for dinner, and one missionary was trying to be super spritual. So he did the whole "even Christ" bit at the end of his prayer. Well, I heard wrong so I got all confused and asked after "who is Steven Christ?" He got a little butt hurt about that.
