Mission trivia from Elder Bellomy.

Here is a small item of trivia shared by Eldrew in his letter this week.

The President of the LDS Stake that Elder Bellomy is serving in is Gifford Nielsen. (A "Stake" is the LDS name for and administrative group of four to six LDS congregations. Is is sort of like a dioceses is the Catholic Church. A Stake president is equivilent to a Bishop in the Catholic Church.)

For anyone who is familiar with Brigham Young University football, Gifford Nielsen is one of the most famous quarterbacks to come out of the fabled BYU Quarterback Factory. He was an All-American and played in the NFL for the Houston Oilers. Until recently, Gifford Nielsen was the Sports Director at KHOU-TV in Houston.
