The Proof of the Pudding

Many years ago I was blessed to be in Brother Benson's religion class at BYU. I was a fairly new Scottish convert to the LDS Church. One day, I happened to answer a question in class and as soon as Br. Benson heard my Scottish accent a big smile broke out on his face and he said, quite delightedly, "Oh, will you please say 'The proof of the pudding is in the eating'!" A little perplexed I complied with his strange (I thought) request. He laughed out loud and proclaimed to the whole class that that popular British expression had been one of his favorites he'd heard on his mission and he was very delighted to hear it once more in a British accent!

I have never forgotten that experience just as I have never forgotten Br. Benson's gentle humor, kindness and patience in teaching a young convert what she needed to know to build her testimony of the Gospel. He was truly a follower of the Savior's teachings. God bless your family.
