Katrina Report: Saints in Soiled Clothes

GULFPORT, MS – We went to the priesthood session of general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this evening. What an experience to sit with men covered in dirt from the toils of selfless sacrifice to listen to the Prophet and Apostles. I understand more the meaning of Christianity. It is neither about Sunday best nor powerful sermons. Being a Christian means becoming a saint. I don’t think I will soon forget the purity in those soiled clothes. I saw the priesthood of God in its truest form tonight. There was no rich, there was no poor. Only men united with single purpose of heart. I am a better man for going.
