Today Elder Tom Perry came to church. The whole stake was there. At least 800 people showed up. One of the things he talked about was teaching children discipline. He said when he was young that him and his brother really wanted a pet. Instead of a dog or a cat they were given a cow. Their dad even planted an alfalfa field for them. They would often stay up late milking the cow and chopping down the alfalfa for the cow to eat. When he was milking the cow and would spot a glimpse of the butchering block and think about how good his cow would taste. He said that the cow had taught him so much about discipline and was too special to him and his brother to turn into hamburger meat. When he was done talking there was a line of about 300 people who wanted to shake his hand. As I shook his hand I could feel the spirit.
