Stake President to overheated EQ Counselor: There are three things that we as members of the Church aren’t ready for yet in this life. First, we’re not ready to receive the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon. Second, we’re not ready to live the Law of Consecration in its fullness. Third, we’re not ready to have the heating and air conditioning in any of our chapels work properly. I hope that by the Millennium the Lord sees fit to grant us proper temperature controls in our buildings… otherwise, it’s going to be a long thousand years.
