I was there at Group that night too!! It was Br. Gee who told that story and it has stuck with me ever since as well! I was a freshman at BYU, a non-member who had grown up in a very liberal part of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, and who was wondering why I had ever thought that Ernest L. Wilkinson's BYU was the place for me to attend college when my roommate and I were invited to attend Group. It was in Group that I learned the gospel, where I felt free to ask questions (in my BofM class, not so much), and where I met the man who ultimately baptized me and who has been my husband for nearly 50 years. It's so fun to see Br. Peterson to also remember such a pivotal moment in my testimony growth. Obviously, I did not make this up!
