In 1970 Kazuhiko Yamashita visited the Church's pavilion at the World's Fair in Osaka, Japan. Impressed with the missionaries' attitudes and the Latter-day Saint film, "Man's Search for Happiness," he wrote down his name and number and turned in a self-referral. Six months later, the missionaries called on him. "Those missionaries were great," he said. "They were a good example to me. I was interested in their life and service. They were young and polite and I wanted to hear their message."

Jeni and I took Elder Bluth to the Bessemer Stake Center for an early morning Sacrament Meeting for the volunteer works who have been helping this past weekend on Sunday morning (May 8). Nearly 2000 Latter-day Saint volunteers arrived in the state on Friday and worked all day Saturday and most of Sunday as part of the Church's relief effort. Several command centers were set up to coordinate the effort. The Bessemer Stake Center was one of those command center. Elder Bluth presided over a short sacrament meeting in the building, beginning at 7:00 am. Once the meeting ended, the volunteers headed out to complete their efforts. Another service weekend has been planned for next weekend. During the week, many local Latter-day Saints (including missionaries) helped in specific areas. A lot of media attention has been directed to places like Tuscaloosa, so some of our effort has focused on other areas where no help has been forthcoming.

As the angst continues to swirl within Utah Republican circles over the LDS Church’s increasingly apparent support of the Legislature’s package of immigration bills that includes a guest-worker provision, there is an elephant-in-the-room component that everyone seems to be missing. The LDS Church has as big a stake in this debate as any institution or association. Therefore, despite those who cry foul over the church’s support of more humanitarian solutions than an Arizona-style enforcement-only law, church officials and lobbyists not only had a right to get involved at the legislative level, it had an obligation to do so.
