As assistants to our mission president in the Arizona Holbrook Mission, Willy and I traveled around the mission with our President and spoke at the zone conferences. There were 10 zones located in 4 states in our mission. We traveled to all of them in a 2 week period of time, giving essentially the same message each time, with minor alterations depending on the theme of the conference and inspiration. During our second round of these conferences at the 7th or 8th zone we visited It was his turn to speak first. Imagine my surprise when he stood up and gave a beautiful rendition of MY talk. Scriptures, quotes, poems personal experiences and all. He had been carefully listening and memorizing my material. The problem was that I had been sitting back, leisurely enjoying his talk, but not making preparations to give it.
Memory from Allen Naylor.
