No one was more excited to train a new missionary than Elder
Kleven. As soon as he was told by the
President that he would be training, he started to make notes and plans. Elder Kleven is not a quiet sit around kind
of guy. He has the energy and spirit of
an eight year old.
He arrived on Tuesday to meet his new companion. We had about 50 missionaries out in front of
the church practicing “contacting.”
Elder Kleven walked up and surveyed all the participants, turned to me
and said, “I know who is going to be my companion. I just feel inspired. It’s that one over there, in the brown suit!” He continued, “You don’t have to tell me, but
really – it’s him isn’t it?” I said, “The
one in the brown suit – that one – do you mean Elder Alldredge?” “Yes – that’s him, right?” he said. My response: “Elder Kleven, Elder Alldredge
has already been here for a year!”
Kleven: “So much for my inspiration!”
