When I was in the US briefly the first week of March, I made a hop on a flight between Salt Lake City and San Jose. There were about 70 people on the puddle jumper plane, and well, something that’s typical “Utah-esque” happened. During the flight, one of about 30 missionaries decided to provide us with some in flight entertainment. The thing is – had he been Moslem, people would have thought that he was going to hijack the plane… had he been anything else, he wouldn’t have been able to do this. However, he was Mormon – and Salt Lake City is the home of the LDS church – so… I provide you with photographic evidence (Thanks K for the iphone moment in time) :

Yes, folks, he stood up to give his testimony over the Plane’s PA.

I’ve never seen people reach up so quickly to light their “call” button to the stewardess…. and I wondered briefly if I should ask if I could go next – and then Jacqui or a few others to each testify to their own religious beliefs – to a captive audience, in a thin metal tube as it was hurling through the air. In the end, I didn’t… However, I just want to say –

There is a time and place for everything…
Welcome to Utah….

TESTIFY!
