Stories of President Monson’s Interactions with People
The LDS blog Segullah recently posted some anecdotes about President Monson. One may or may not be true, as it is told several times removed from the source. The other was told by Elder Lansing of the Seventy that spoke at a stake conference last weekend.
The first story is about a woman who is not a member of the Church, but who has a coworker who is, and who she speaks with often about the Church. While the women is traveling on one occasion she meets a nice older gentleman, and they have a conversation:
…she finds out the gentleman is also a member of the church. She tells him about her co-worker [the member]. They talk and have a friendly conversation. As their meeting is coming to a close he asks her to tell her friend hello. Puzzled, she asks, “Will she know you?” He answers, “Yes, she probably will. Tell her Tommy Monson says hello.”
The second story is Elder Lansing’s account of President Monson’s visits to Elder Marion D. Hanks, who is in the hospital with Alzheimer’s disease. The things that President Monson did for his friend is touching.
