Overheard . . .

(Jenn)
I just caught a few snippets of Henry's version of the song "Latter-day Prophets":

James Taylor came third we know,
then Wilford Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow . . .

Ezra Taft Benson, Howareyou W. Hunter,
Gordon B. Hinckley . . . etc.

I'm considering writing into the General Primary Presidency to see if they might consider using Henry's revisions when they re-do the song to accomodate for Thomas S. Monson as the new prophet. What do you think?

I love that. It's like Sophia singing her favorite "Frosting the Snowman". My nephew used to sing the last line of "I love to See the Temple" as "This is my favorite beauty" instead of "sacred duty". The things kids say. You should definitely send that one into the church.

It's me again. I hate to break it to you but it looks like they're already revised the song: http://www.lds.org/cm/pdf/Latter-day_Prophets_revised%202008.pdf

Sorry Henry. Better luck next time.

Darn! Maybe they would still consider using "James Taylor" and "Howareyou W. Hunter." I'll write just in case!
