We met in college. We became best friends. I was her campaign manager when she ran for an office at BYU. We co-authored some books that were published by Deseret Book. We were room mates for a year. After we were room mates, she left on a mission. I saw her only once after that. She told me once that "friends are the stepping stones to heaven." I figured after awhile that our friendship had simply been an early stone on her own personal path.
She would only date guys until she determined whether or not they were "general authority material." I'm assuming she found one. Now she is a Mission President's wife, and I am an exmo. I imagine her singing, "thus on to eternal perfection, the honest and faithful will go, while those who reject this glad message, will never such happiness know!"
But you know what? I wouldn't change places with her for the world. I have four wonderful kids, all of whom have decided that they are better off--and more importantly, better people--without TSCC. And I am much more than a stepping stone to be walked on by someone who thinks so highly of herself that she would leave people in the dust.
