Oh, I accept it just fine, but it wasn't the leaving that was the problem, it was how he went about it.

Just as we'll all be happy where we end up in the afterlife b/c we'll be more comfortable there.

What Olsen did was no different than the way Hall quit his mission. Hall said he would serve then backed out.

Ben Olsen: "I am coming back to BYU."

Max Hall: "I accept my calling to serve 2 years."

Is there really not a difference?
