The first time we spoke in Sacrament meeting with President Eyring sitting behind myself and Scott was absolutely terrifying.
The second time Scott spoke in Sacrament meeting with President Eyring sitting behind him was funny. Funny because I wasn't the one speaking and the chance that it would happen a second time was slim to none.
The third time Scott spoke in Sacrament meeting (today) with President Eyring sitting behind him was just downright freaky. This is a man who comes to our Ward 3 maybe 4 times a year. The 3 times Scott has spoken in our Ward in the 2 1/2 years we have been here and President Eyring manages to be there each and every time. Yikes! What are the chances of this? Miniscule? I can tell you one thing. I wasn't grumbling today about wrestling 4 boys myself while Scott sat on the stand. I wouldn't have traded with him for anything.

Wow! What are the odds? That's definitely a rather intimidating place to be. It's scary enough to give a talk, let alone with one of the first presidency right there!
Just to be on the safe side, so I don't have to make the change later on, I'm going to start calling Scott by his full name, complete with middle initial, in all of our conversations.
Just wait until Scott gets called to be an apostle at age 35 :) Well, they've now heard him speak 3 times, what more do they need?
Keep in mind, Pres. Eyring has raised a batch of sons and he probably would rather have been down wrestling the boys with you than up on the stand himself.
I think he's onto you guys. I bet he finds out when you're speaking so he can be there to enjoy you! What an honor for you! Though, uh, I don't wish for it myself. :)
I can't imagine how scary that would be. I would much rather be with the kids then speaking.
Woah! That is pretty crazy. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.
Kari's comment is perfect. Yes, what are the chances!!!!
Maybe we better book Scott D. Kimball to speak in our ward before his speaking engagements are set by someone else.
