Fun Fact

While serving a 2-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I had the opportunity to train Elder Lund.  ('Elder' is a title used to denote one's status as a missionary.  To 'train' a missionary is to be the first person they're assigned to work with - in other words, to show them the ropes and teach them how to be a good missionary.)  Elder Lund trained Elder Goodwin.  Elder Goodwin trained Elder Evans.  Elder Evans currently teaches at the Missionary Training Center (an incubator for missionaries).  And at the MTC, Elder Evans "may or may not" (wink) have taught American Idol star/pop singer-songwriter David Archuleta.




So, in a very direct and personal way, I taught David Archuleta everything he knows about how to be a missionary.
