For those in the Orem/Provo area who might be interested:
I'm speaking tonight at the annual Middle East Studies (Arabic) student fireside, on the topic of "Adventures in Muslim/Mormon Dialogue."
The fireside will be held at the ward house just north of the MTC, on the other side of the MTC fence, at 7 p.m.
I would imagine that the organizers won't be bothered if a few extra people show up. Though, if you do, you might want to go easy on the refreshments.

Re: Fireside Tonight
Will you be talking about the prophetic role of Muhammad?
I enjoyed a similar fireside you gave down in Ca a while back Dan. I do have one suggestion. Cut down on the references to your wife killing you. By the end of your remarks I was actually hoping she would if you said it one more time. :)
Really I did enjoy your talk though.

There will be a shortage of pink-iced heart-shaped cookies and red punch?
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

No.
Or, if so, only very glancingly.

Yeah. That irritated her, too.

Thank you.
This one tonight will be substantially different.

Excellent warning. Those going to hear you reeking of Pepsi and Fritos would be subject to arrest and possibly a good boot dusting all the way back to the University of Utah.

Re: Fireside Tonight
It went reasonably well, I think.
Good turn-out, too.

Re: Fireside Tonight
Because you bribed them with treats. We didn't get no stinkin treats in Ca. You are spoiling them in Zion Dan.
