My grandfather was a stake president back before the church became the stone cut out of the mountain and the fastest growing church in all of Camelot.
This meant that all of the general authorities who visited usually stayed with the stake presidents and their families. Tithing hadn't quite gotten to the point where the authorities could jet wherever and stay at a Marriott for free with all the paid pornography your television can handle.
My grandmother talked often about the different authorities who stayed, and she would speak of them with awe.
Except for one.
Bruce R. McConkie's very name makes her squirm. She doesn't swear and will go out of her way to never say anything bad about ANY church leader. But the memory of Bruce R. McConkie's staying at her house gives her the fits.
Her mouth says, "he wasn't the most pleasant of gentlemen who stayed." But her body language and the tone screams her true feelings of, "Fuck that asshole. Seriously, he was a douche."
