With LDS Conference coming up I've had this on my mind for a bit and wanted to share- however the youtube video that is the Salt Lake City one had a problem with the song on there so I posted a different video with the same idea.
Every six months people of the LDS faith head to SLC, to be close to their prophet to hear his voice, take it in and be comforted. The get council on many things to help guide their lives, from emergency preparedness for your family, to how to help your friends and neighbors by serving those in need.
Every six months picketers arrive holding up degrading signs and shout horrible things at these people.
Then one year a small group came with signs that said "free hugs". That was it. They didn't care what the mormons believed in or didn't believe. They just knew that this group was being harassed for attending something they loved and believed in. So they gave out free hugs. Many laughs were had and good tears were cried because this group went out of their way to make people feel good that day.
Wouldn't it be good if these things could happen more often than those people who only want to cut others down for what they believe.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FREE HUG GROUPS!!!
