Wood Badge Missionary Moment

I was recently made Varsity Coach in a local Boy Scout troop, and this weekend I was able to attend Wood Badge, which is the pinnacle of Boy Scout leadership training. Most of the participants were LDS but there were a few non-members. I had the privilege of sharing a tent with Ethan, a fine young man, serving as assistant scoutmaster in a Lutheran-sponsered Boy Scout troop. Ethan instantly connected with everyone there, including me, and we all had a grand old time. On the second night we asked questions about each other's faith and religious beliefs. I was able to explain the difference between a chapel and a Temple, and what goes on in Temples, with a special focus on marriage ceremonies that happen in the Temple.
