Here are some fun pictures of the Lord’s Servants doing “normal” things in public. We say “normal” because it’s not necessarily normal to throw the opening pitch at a LA Dodgers game, or have a conversation with Jerry Sloan. It’s fun to realize that they are human just like you and I, only with very special callings from the Lord. Enjoy!

My Public Apostle Sighting

I remember the first time I saw an apostle in public. I was coming home from a business trip and few into the Salt Lake City airport. I retrieved my luggage from the baggage claim and walked casually out to the passenger pickup area. As I walked down the sidewalk, I saw a older feller sitting with his wife on a bench with their luggage. Just as I walked by he looked up and my eyes met the eyes of Elder Robert D. Hales! My heart immediately skipped a beat. I felt like a little boy seeing his sports hero or something. In my shock, I tried to be normal. “Hi, I’m Brandon Young.” I said nervously. “Nice to meet you.” He politely replied. An awkward silence followed. “Where ya coming from?” I asked. “We were visiting some Saints in Hawaii.” “Cool.” I again nervously said while looking at him and his wife. At that time, a car pulled up and he informed me that it was his ride. “Can I help with your luggage?” I asked. “Sure!” So I grabbed Elder and Sister Hales luggage, loaded it in the trunk of the car, shook his hand and just like that he was gone. It was an awesome experience I will never forget.

If you’ve ever met or seen an apostle in public, we would love to hear! Share your story in the comments below.
