The long lost son was imprisoned because he committed the vicious double murder of two capitalist business magnates in an ill fated attempt to start a class war aimed at bringing about a Communist revolution with the ultimate aim of recreating the U.S.S.R and the Warsaw Pact. He was only being held briefly in prison though, he was about to be transferred to an insane asylum due to certifiable insanity. But at least he saw his mom and pop.

I like your version better. Add in that he was planning to reanimate Lenin and it would be perfect.

Why did the church allow your mom to serve with your husband? I thought missionary couples had to be married to each other.


Wry!

I'm kinda gay or something I suppose.

Or maybe I meant her current husband who is not my actual gay dad.

Take your pick.

Now that the story is getting out tubbytommie is going to put this missionary couple on double secret probation - because it was he, behind the scenes who really arranged it with the help of the three nephites.

Wow. That's maybe the dumbest faith promoting rumor I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot. However, it is missing a few elements that could really push it over the top. Perhaps add in a story of 3 elderly men who help them at some point in the Ukraine, before mysteriously disappearing. Also, it would help if they were really poor, and wouldn't be able to afford it, but because they paid their tithing, and obeyed the call to the Ukraine, they found a treasure chest filled with gold.
