- Home teaching isn't always easy, but someone has to do it! This summer, we took it upon ourselves to home teach John Dehlin, creator of Mormon Stories. Here's some footage of that.

This was *hilarious* from start to finish, but I completely lost it when I saw a closeup of the painting and realized that the Nephite was riding a *TAPIR!!!*
Was Russel M. Nelson's home teacher. You'd think I would have interesting stories to share. Nope.
Yep just physician with a lot of daughters
What?
@@aligolightly7359 We only visited twice over a few years because he was so busy. Barely said two words. His wife (#1) was much more welcoming - she was wonderful.
@@jonah7216 ah the #1 wife
Assigned friends that's the best description I've ever heard. That's exactly how it works
I called them that while I wss active lol
@@andrewenderfrost8161 Honestly, it's better than no friends. Sometimes life is very lonely. When I was an investigator, the missionaries tried to get two different people to come meet me. Neither showed up. It helped make it easier not to join. I guess they did me a favor.
And then they stab you in the back after pretending to be your best friend and libel you.
@@KristinaUSA-x5nthey are little spies sent to keep an eye on you and report back to the elder abusers. 😅
Glad to see I'm not the only one who dons the apron and the baker's hat when cooking up a storm in the kitchen
Don't forget to add a little thyme and seasons!
As someone who attends a YSA branch, I can say that the home teaching program is a total scam. I personally haven't been home taught for months and the irony of it is that my home teacher is the elder quorum president. I personally hate home teaching cuz that's the only time I talk with the person or persons being home taught.
Cerebral Palsy; Triumphs & Struggles Michael Friant :( that sucks. It really depends on the person. When I was "in", we never missed a month. Maybe things have changed.
"Just because someone's driving a van, it doesn't mean it's John Dehlin, or a soccer mum" lmao
Without sounding too Mormonish...YOU GUYS ARE SUCH A BLESSING! I have been sick for a few days, and in those moments of misery when I am at my pathetic lowest...Zelf on the Shelf helps me find that smile...that feeling of warmth floods me...and I have what I used to know as a spiritual experience and can continue on! You guys are awesome!
YAY! So glad we could help!! 🎉💜
When Tanner casually walks through with his apron and baker's hat. I'm dead!
ExMos are the best Home Teachers! XD I flippin' love you guys!
Ha! Tanner's baker hat and green apron EASTER EGG walking by made me burst out laughing!
I'm just impressed how fast Tanner is in those sandals... must have been years of practice
I knew all that training would pay off some day!
Oh my gosh this should be a thing!!! Home teaching the apostates!!! 😂
Love the Garden of Eden Temple Apron and Bakers Hat!
what was john's reaction?
And I quote, "THAT WAS YOU GUYS!!!!! lololololol You fetchers!!!"
Lol this one made me laugh so hard! Figured I'd put in a few steps and get my workout in for the week lol. I feel healthy now.
Bethany Kay it’s Bethany Kay!!! I love your videos. ❤️
@@andginisin Aw, thank you! :)
I want the Elmo painting
Seriously, so do I.
Tanner, that painting is so awesome! I'm jealous. If John doesn't want it, I think it will sell for a pretty penny :)
Haha maybe I should just start selling ex-Mormon art as my full-time job
Can I commission a painting of Joseph on his knees pleading to a little girl, with an angel with a flaming sword in the background?
You actually can :)
Hilarious! I love that you still have the apron and hat.
I rarely LOL, but 3:28 killed me! You naughty little apostates, you!
I missed that the first time. HAHAHAHA
Perfection :)
So casual, so much better than something blatant. I lol'd too.
Pretty sure there needs to be a painting shop in etsy! Id rock one of those in my house!
I was disappointed not to see a pinned John Dehlin or Mormon Stories comment! Haha. Also, that painting of Captain John on the tapir waving that flag in front of the pyramid...he better have that hanging in his house to this day. It is incredible. Please make copies for your merch!
Do you sell any of your artwork? I would LOVE to buy your picture! I would frame it and put it up, for my still TBM husband to wonder what it's all about 😃
I can't wait for the sinful alcoholic spring breakers to show up at my Hooters and tip me well so I can afford to support your patreon. RIP to the $97 in my bank account when my car payment is due lmao
I really loved this video! Thanks for the laughs :-)
I don't know why this is in my feed 6 years later... But damn, did Tanner really paint those? They're amazing.
You guys always make me smile. Great impression at 11:30, Tanner.
Where is the rest of this????
Hey guys Mormon language update “home teaching” is now called “ministering” as part of the churches “not rebranding”.
If you guys are interested in a “ministering treat to share with your “ministering families I uploaded a video on how to make deep fried mars bars.
They are “delicious to the taste, and very desirable”.
Do you sell your art? I want one of the rapier
I just found out who Zelph was. Inspiring. You need a part 2 to to this episode. And I’m sure John threw the garment cookies away.
I would never throw that painting away. Its gold! 🤣🤣
It's important to get your home teaching done, even if its the 31st.
OMG You guys are so hilarious! This is like something I would do! You guys are Awesome!! Btw I'm also a proud Ex-Mo and couldn't be any happier.
Put the baggie in an mug or small cup and it fills flawlessly.
Where can I purchase some LDS bakers hats
I found one at the DI once
Please please please do more responses to Greg Trimble articles.
The perplexing thing to me about the LDS Church in spite of discoveries of late pointing to many weaknesses and inauthentic claims, the Church keeps an open door through revelatory possibility between deity and Mankind. The issue boils down to what paths people decide to navigate to find their way back to God. The LDS Church is only one of them among others that historically and in the present-day make extraordinary claims and has exhibited questionable behaviors among its founders. In spite of it all, the LDS Church has provided among other religions a welcoming pathway for many to fallow back to God. So, as it goes for most, people have to use their mind's God-given ability to decide for themselves the nature of the paths they choose to follow. Right or wrong, the experience of life itself, if keenly realized, provides the best directives for all of us.
I'd definitely hang that painting in my house!! 😂
OMG! I haven’t laughed this hard in I don’t know how long. That pic of John on a tapir in front of a Mayan temple (?)!!?!!!?!? I snorted.
This video made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Thank you!!!
Tanner, you're adorable. I freaking love you.
Marie Scott You guys should date.
Aw shucks :)
Wait is there a part 2? What's the ending?
Matt Stringham We tried to explain in the intro! Maybe John will home teach US for part two JOHN WE WILL EAT LITERALLY ANYTHING YOU GIVE US
How handy is that screen of trees to shield your approach?
SO handy
that bit about not judging others driving vans hahahah I was laughing so hard
Robin Clonts That was one of our favorite moments, haha!
Yeah, that's actually a true one for me. I always promised myself (and we promised each other, back when I was married and thinking I'd have children) that I'd / we'd _never, ever, ever_ own a minivan *under any circumstances* . It's always amusing to me seeing families with a giant minivan for a mere one or two kids (families who don't plan on having more, anyway). They always have those goofy stickers on the back showing mom, dad, each child, each pet... And if it's a BMW (big Mormon wagon, as we called them here), it typically has a CTR sticker or _something_ to let everyone know "Yes! I'm a Mormon too!" (A lot bigger deal in Portland, where most people sensibly are irreligious, unless you consider high quality beer & coffee religion). Though where I grew up in western Washington county suburban Portland, we had intel and Nike, both of whom recruited directly from BYU graduation ceremonies so there are a LOT of Mormons out there. They just stay out of Portland.
So yeah, I'm judgmental about minivan owners. It screams "I gave up! I'm a middle-aged parent who thinks minivans are safer, more sensible, and I somehow need enough space to haul a football team (or seminary class) if the time comes!" Usually accompanied by Old Navy dad jeans, tacky children's music on the car stereo, and requisite judgment on all things secular and cool about living in Portland.
You must discern between van styles though - standard "mini" vans, or _real_ BMW's - those passenger vans that the big families buy that haul 14 full-sized adults AND all their junk! Not a good look for the 16-year-old who's just started dating and borrows mom's car.
@@filminginportland1654 the one with byu stickers is my family's
Omg! I love you two soooooooo much.
Please do another one of these, but this time, get their reactions on camera and do a longer "visit"! Awesome of you to think of them.
Next time you do this, use go pro. Catch any reactions lol
is this the last day of the month?
This was hilarious!
This is so great 😂😂
This video was hilarious! Has John Dehlin responded to it?
Thank goodness there are Mormons (ex-Mormons, maybe) who have a delicious sense of humor. For the last while I have been subjected to the most lugubrious/morose attitudes from my true believing neighbors, often prefaced with the self righteous warning..."we don't make light of sacred topics/things/issues! By the way, I haven't been feeling up to par lately. Maybe these good souls will take compassion on me and bring over a casserole or some oatmeal/raisin cookies. I'll even listen to the "message"!
You guys are hilarious!
4:58, I sensed the cat wanted to be more involved.
Purr normal
Draw a tapir!!! Lmao!!!!!
Aha! A wonderful new apron and chef hat made from your temple garments 😂😂😂
Wow, this legit cracked me the fuck up.
Are you certain that a small child wasn't holding the camera? Or was it an adult acting like a small child? Good work you two.
Do you think that next visit you could show us how it is possible to gift wrap and drop off a live llama?
So funny! 🤣
The painting, though.
I was a member for 5 yrs and never had home or visiting teachers lol(if I did I never met them or knew I had them). I was a visiting teacher though roflmao.
That's hilarious!
Tanner is TALENTED
This would have been better if you met John
Home teaching got really tough when we were told to report problems we found to the bishop, which I did. What a brainwashed idiot I was . I wish I could take it back . The couple looked very upset with each other , bad vibe, knew they were about to get divorced, I feel like they trusted me and I thought I was the only one who saw it coming , weird . I did mean well as a TBM. Anyway, the bishop wasted not second calling them. Then the husband confronted me, he was okay with me, their marriage was over already.
This is so sad, it sounds like this type of activity is just a way to spy on others, similarly to at BYU, it's required to report bad behavior of other fellow students :( It's as if the Mormon church doesn't understand the concept of privacy? In the end, why does the Mormon church think all acts are to be reported on, if their god knows everything everyone does?
Hilarious!
The wildlife of ex-Mormons. Tanner, I thought you were taller?
U should have peeled out there right in front of his house, lol.
Feces and the sins of John's youth. Bwahaha!
Wouldn’t his garments covered that injury if he was still in? Lol. Tisk tisk tisk I thought those things are made of titanium?
Is that icing vegan?
OMG, LOL *Chef hat and apron
i learned a lot about their marriage after only 2 minutes skipping around the vid. If anyone wants to know what I conclude and predict, let me know. It's a truth they probably don't want to face.
you must be extremely intuitive!
we’re not even married. we’re not even romantically involved.
"Just because someone's driving a van, it doesn't mean it's John Dehlin, or a soccer mum" lmao
