NOM

So here are the stats for Spring 2022.

We had a tie for 1st place between Kearon and Uchtdorf. Both got +100


Just Kidding Reyna wins!!!

Reyna Aburto is the winner with +101; this was her farewell talk as she was released. I'm pretty sure she has made the top 3 every NOMference she has spoken at. She talked about difficult subjects like depression, mental health, divorce and suicide. But she did it in a way that promoted healing and grace. I will miss her very much.

Kearon and Uchtdorf are second with +100

Third place goes to Ringwood at +25. But a lot of those points are because he has a cool last name.

For the Loosers:
Rasband was our biggest looser at -2,725
Oaks was next at -2,300
Renlund's pathetic attempt to take down a Goddess earned him -1,550

For the full list:

Aburto +101
Kearon +100
Uchtdorf +100
Ringwood +25
Ojediran +15
Ballard +5
Wright +5
Stevenson +5
Gavarret 0
Cook 0
Porter 0
Bingham 0
Rusty (Sun aft) 0
Rusty (Sat morn.) -5
Gong -5
Martinez -10
Soares -10
Bednar -15
Eyring -15
Pace -40
Ochoa -50
Hamilton -50
Aidukaitis -50
Holland -90
Funk -100
Andersen -135
Craven -150
Kacher -300
Rusty (Sun morn.) -350
Klebingat -570
Christofferson -1,190
Renlund -1,550
Oaks -2,300
Rasband -2,725

And we will get 17 new temples. So now Rusty has bult 100. He beat Hinckley. A petty life goal to have. But whatever. I would say maybe he can die now. But when he dies, we get Oaks.

I'll be interested to see if they edit Sister Aburto's talk. She said something to the effect that the church is not the ecclesiastical leaders. I thought it was a nice parting jab.

I think Aburto needs a 31 point bonus.

How many remain just vaporware?

The Russia and China Temples were rather fanciful ideas.

100 is such a round number. I wonder if the goal was just to announce 100 temples regardless of whether they ever get built. Clearly the Russia and China temples are not ever going to exist beyond drawings in someone's file cabinet.

Also, I second Red Ryder's motion to award 31 bonus points to Sister Aburto.

*In my best Uchtdorf impression* "It has been noted."

Wow, more revisions then a 1984 copy of the Book of Mormon!
