I am glad that President Uchtdorf received the visit of the President of Switzerland right here in Utah. It is nice to see how the connections between countries and believers are also made at a high level. Did they also talk about Uchtdorf's experience as a pilot?

Nice to see President Uchtdorf hosting the Swiss president right here in Utah. That pilot background of his probably came up—they always seem to ask him about flying. Makes you wonder what kind of stories they swapped over lunch.

Yeah, that's what I thought too when I read. Uchtdorf was a Lufthansa pilot for a long time, so they certainly had a common aviation topic. Maybe he told the Swiss president how he once crash-landed in Zürich. Interesting how his pilot experience helps him even now in these official meetings.
