The Spirit of Sacrifice

In the spirit of sacrifice, I recall a conversation I had some years ago with my stake president in Idaho.
We were discussing the forthcoming Aaronic Priesthood/Scout campout.
I explained to him that it would be necessary for each person to bring his own sleeping bag, to which the president replied, "I have never slept in a sleeping bag."

I quickly responded, "President, you can't be serious. You have lived in beautiful Idaho all these years and you have never slept in a sleeping bag?"

"Nope!" he said, "I never have. But I have sure lain in a lot of 'em."
And then he went on to say, "And I'll lie in a whole bunch more of them if it will help to save boys."
