“Cal Larsen was my very first Bishop as a new convert in 1992. He was my teacher and my mentor. We had the most wonderful conversations. When he was called as our Stake Patriarch, those were days I'll never forget! I was privileged to witness the most spiritual preparation of a man. He is such a dear man, and I do look forward to the day that I can continue my education with my dear friend.”

“I grew up with the Larsen family in our stake and my parents were good friends. I remember they were always smiling. They were there for our youth trek and made the turkey dinner fun and a great learning experience. I also remember one of them giving a talk and saying their spouse was always late. At first it bugged them, then they decided it wasn’t worth always being upset at their spouse so they decided to not let it bug them. I have let that inspire my marriage.”
