After waiting for 40 minutes outside the Bishop’s office this Sunday, the Stake President emerged and Bishop ushered us in. Our settlement conversation went like this:
Bishop: Sooo…tithing. How’s that goin’ for ya?
Jon: We’re full tithe payers
Bishop: Yeah that’s right. I forgot how the question goes…And your marriage?
Jon: Doin’ great.
Bishop: Good.
(Me cracking up)
Bishop: Why are you laughing? Are you laughing at me?
Me: (Still laughing) Yes. I’m sorry.
Bishop: Sorry you’re my first of the year. I forgot how it goes.
Seriously. It was our all time favorite tithing settlement.

Hilarious. I love it! I'm guessing our tithing settlement will have fewer laughs.
The more stories I hear about your bishop the more I want to visit your ward to meet him.
MSH ward rocks--what if you had just sat there and let him guess as to why you had made an appointment? fun, fun.
