Our Bloggers Recommend: Christian Anderson (son of Lavina Fielding Anderson) in the Salt Lake Tribune

Exponent II friend (and guest blogger) Christian Anderson recently authored an excellent blog post showing the underrepresentation of women in our general conference meetings with pie charts and graphs. This week he also learned that his late mother (the well-loved Lavina Fielding Anderson) had her temple blessings restored to her by the first presidency without his knowledge. He submitted a request to do her temple work after the one-year anniversary of her death and was surprised to learn it had already been completed without anyone’s knowledge from the family only a few days before.

Pulitzer Prize winning Peggy Fletcher Stack wrote a story in the Salt Lake Tribune with all of the details. Check it out and share your love for Christian and his family!

This photo is Christian on his baptism day in Calf Creek Falls in Southern Utah. Lavina kept a copy of this next to her computer, then next to her bed for at least the last six years of her life.
