Harley Perry reported his mission to Madrid, Spain today. Bart Cardon was assigned to be the concluding speaker. He and his wife Kathy are actually Public Relations missionaries, assigned to Madrid, Spain, but Kathy's health failed and they returned to Logan where they are working out their mission from their home.
Bishop Tom Lee assigned Bart to speak "on the scriptures". As often happens in such meetings, administration of the Sacrament took longer because of the number of visitors in the congregation, and Harley actually had a lot to say...in his strange Spanish influenced accent.
So there was little or no time left for Bart. Never-the-less he left us with a memorable message with the fewest words ever:
"If you want to talk with God...get on your knees and pray.
If you want God to talk to you...stand up and get into the scriptures."
We may remember that longer than if it had been buried in a 10-15 minute talk.
