@TrumpsHurricane @gothink I think she meant repatriation.

@MountainMercInc What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.
English

@realKellyKnight My wife was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. We were in the hospital in Salt Lake City during the hay harvest. My neighbors, who are members of another faith, cut, baled, and hauled our hay to market without being asked. And, they refused payment for the work. We love them!

English

A classic story from early Latter‑day Saint life tells of George Goates, a farmer in Lehi, Utah, whose family was devastated during the 1918 flu epidemic. While he was away dealing with tragedy and unable to work his fields, neighbors quietly stepped in and harvested his entire beet crop for him. When he returned and saw the work done, he was overwhelmed — not by the beets, but by the love behind them.
It’s a reminder that real discipleship often looks like showing up, rolling up your sleeves, and doing the work someone else can’t do right now.
Where are these stories today?

Out of the blue one day my youngest son told me his friends didn’t like coming to our house because they were sure I was a member of the Russian mafia. 😔
When I worked retail management in eyewear sales I would always step back and let my employees work with customers because I have always carried an air of intimidation and didn’t want to drive sales away.
But really, I’m a nice guy when you get to know me.
English

@Rach_the_Rivetr I’m a listener. So I’m generally pretty quiet. But I also apparently have some serious RBF? I get a lot of comments about being intimidating from my kids friends once they get to know me. I try to be friendly though! 🤣

@realKellyKnight That story was written by Les Goates, my grandfather, popularized by Elder Vaughn Featherstone in General Conference.
No doubt there are thousands of charitable examples like this one today.

@Sci_Saint But every American won't eat raw-milk cheese. So there's that.
English

@realKellyKnight For more context, if every American ate unpasteurized cheese that 0.04% would be more than 120,000 people
English

For context: 170,000 lbs of this cheese feeds ~17,000 people a year. 7 illnesses = 0.04%. Serious for those affected, but nowhere near the ‘major outbreak’ tone the headlines imply.
FactPost@factpostnews
The FDA has announced at least 7 people have contracted E. coli linked to cheddar cheese made from raw milk.
English

@GrandpaJoeSux Yeah. At the time, EEOC was not really a thing. And I moved on.
But thanks for the sentiment.
English

Not that it really matters at this point, but it is kind of an interesting story.
In ~1990 I applied for a management position at a national women's beauty supply chain story in Orem.
I was called in for an interview and fully had the qualifications.
The very first words out of the hiring manager's mouth were "I have no intention of hiring you, I just wanted to know why a man would apply for this position.
It was a short interview.

English

It is estimated that the sum total of the number of people working for all Musk owned companies, and all of their supply chain partners down to raw materials providers is 1.5 million.
"Let's put Musk out of business."
Not a good thing.

SEN. SANDERS: “60% of our people living paycheck-to-paycheck, and one guy, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households.” “Think maybe that might be an issue that we should be talking about?"

@realKellyKnight That’s amazing! Sounds like a wonderful life filled with amazing places!
English

I don't make friends all that easily. I am friendly, but it doesn't stick. People find me "cherry" or slightly off. I don't say things the right way, I think differently, and I'm introverted.
In other words, I'm neurodivergent.
The wiring just isn't the same as a neurotypical, and most neurotypicals don't understand the neurodiverse, and so they tend not to warm up to them.
But I have good friends who have been around a long time. My wife. Doug T..
Okay, two. 🤷♂️
English

I actually think its higher. I used to work for a company in Orem that had a Church contract to install, refinish, and repair the benches that are in the Chapel. I remember going into the NE, but I don't remember which states exactly, so I didn't count any of them.
But I have traveled a lot, and lived in a lot of places.
English

@realKellyKnight Well you didn’t have to go and beat me right away 😜

@realKellyKnight @Mormonger @Manhattva These kind of activities don't happen much anymore. My wife is primary pres. She purposed a ward garden. Primary would seed it and organize a ward activity to harvest. She needed EQ and YM to help till and weed but they had no interest.
English

Men only. Do you believe LDS wards are struggling to engage Men?
I'm seriously interested in this but I don't have much reach so please re-tweet

One year, while I was EQ president, I felt impressed that our Father and Sons activity needed to be service oriented. One of my councillors was connected with a couple that owned a girls’ rehab ranch.
The first year, we built two bunk houses at the horse camp. The second year we got the ward involved and painted the bunk houses, did repairs at the main ranch, and repainted the interior of the half-way house where the girls transitioned back into society.
It was the best use of two weekends we ever had in that, or any other ward I have ever lived in.
English

@realKellyKnight @Mormonger @Manhattva The simplest solution is to find opportunities to challenge men. We real opportunities to make a difference.
English

@GodlyAction What scares me most about your statement is that a significant percentage of your 110k followers are actually going to believe you.
