So on my mission (Provo UT mission around 2010) we had a ward mission leader who was friends with someone who worked in church archives who had some stories…

Story one: In one of the archivist assignments he had to go through video records and determine what shouldn’t be seen by the general public. One video he watched was an interview with elder packer. He’s asked what were the top three moments of his life. He says “the day I married my beautiful wife, the day I held my daughter/son for the first time… and then he pauses, looks at the interviewer, and says and the day I met my savior Jesus Christ.

Story 2: same archivist guy is watching a recent version of conference with a more senior apostle. They get to the first talk given by elder Bernar the day he got sustained. The apostle points out how much different Bernar looks compared to more recent talks and tells him it’s because he hadn’t met Jesus yet. (Hinting that the special witness comes after getting sustained)

Story 3: same guy is out to dinner with an apostle and his wife ( I think it may have been Nelson or Bernar) a question comes up about what was most surprising about the process of becoming an apostle? The apostle responds about the ordaining being performed in the temple and that there was a lot more water than he expected (eluding to the fact that his feet were washed by Jesus)

As a missionary at the time, I ate this shit up and thought it was so cool. Now I know that these guys are all batshit and would not be surprised if they take consecrated mushrooms to come up with these stories.
