Elder Scott at Shopko??

I definitely saw Elder Scott today at Shopko.  At first I wasn't sure it was him because he was really short, and I didn't know that he was short.  However, my uncertainty was diminished when I saw him sign his receipt and say "thank you".  I was so close to saying something....but I hesitated.  What was I going to say?  "Excuse me, Elder Scott, I just wanted to tell you that I love your work." Uh, no.  I really did want to talk to him, though.  I actually wanted to tell him that one of the talks he gave at conference was the one that answered my prayers about going on a mission.  That's a nice thing to talk to an apostle, right?  Well, unfortunately I couldn't think fast enough and he walked into the bathroom before I could say anything.  I was left with the cashier, who had no idea what was going on.  "Do you realize who that was?" I asked.  "No," she replied.  "That was Richard G. Scott!" I said.  "Oh?" she said.  And that was it.  I thought about waiting for him to come out of the bathroom, but I determined that was kind of weird.  So I left.

HA... seeing an Apostle in public is weird. It's like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs. "Did you just see that DOG?!?!?" Remember when I saw Elder Holland bowling? Yeah... weird.

I hope he looked better than the picture you posted:) The girl at the register probably didn't know who Richard G. Scott is. You are in Utah, after all and in a Walmart.

Oops, Shopko.
