No class

So tonight we had the Elders over for dinner. One just got here last week, Elder #1. He's tall, medium build, likes basketball and this is what the conversation was about. The other Elder is short and lets just say a bit "round" and doesn't seem to have much interest in active things. Sometime ago, Spencer and other men (most of which are less active members) would play B-ball a couple nights a week at the church. Elder #1 wants to get it going again for fun on their P-day as well as establishing comradery with some less active members. Elder #2 says "I'll just sit on the stage and watch".

Spencer is giving them some names and describing the men to the Elders as to who may be interested in playing. At one point he mentions a guy and starts to describe him...."He's a big ole fat guy. He's huge...." at which point my head pops up and makes eye contact with Spencer. I'm thinking "what are you saying?" He realizes what he just said, a quick exchange between us and I turn my attention to the kids. Next thing I know the Elder #2 stands up, his chair flies back behind him, throws his napkin down on his plate and starts to lecture us about his "medical condition". We are feeling horrible and offer dessert to smooth things over. He accepts and calmly sits down with a smile at the bowl of ice cream I place before him!

Ok, so that last part was just my imagination. Out the corner of my eye I just see Elder #2 looking down at his plate, raising his next bite of food to mouth. I'm feeling bad and hoping it doesn't offend him in any way (as it wasn't meant to offend, just thoughtless words). It all ended nicely though and dinner/dessert was a hit.
