I woke up this morning to an email with this link:

And then I saw this:
READ IT AND THEN WE CAN DISCUSS
Ok ... now that you have done the assigned reading, we can review and discuss (can you tell I am in school?) This is the best April Fool's Joke I have EVER EVER EVER seen ... why you might ask? Because the website looks sooo real ... you can click on ALL the links on the page and they go to the right places ... and the informational details are so right on. Snoop Dogg could very well have seen Gladys Knight preform at a Church building - that part is not a joke - she really is a PEEP and gives performances on behalf of the LDS church. The terminology is right and now on further inspection, too right and that PICTURE ... priceless.
Sigh ... I was freaking out for a moment ... I thought for sure the end of the world was coming if the "D - O - Double G" had become a Mormon but I am a believer that it could happen. Its just that I am aware of the "signs of the time," as they say, and I just happen to believe that this could have been one of them.
Just goes to show the amazing capabilities of the digital and media arts and my gullability when first waking up. I know know to wait five minutes at least between getting up and checking my email in the morning.
P.S. at the very very bottom you will find this:
(it says: "You Just Got April Fooled! Snoop's Not Mormon ... YET!")

Very funny! Hey Bethany! It's Kera Maxwell (now Washburn) from Irvine 1st ward. I found your blog on Shannon's. And I wanted to tell you I saw you in the April ensign! Right when I turned to the page you stood out, and I said, Hey, it's Bethany Johnson! Joel, my husband, who is friends with your brother Jared, said, no way! But yes, it is you. What a neat experience for you to do that. Sounds like things are going well for you. Take care! -Kera
I freaked out at first too!! That was hilarious. So you're in the Ensign, huh? That's so fun! I haven't seen it yet, but I'll be looking for the hottie from the OC.

Hey Sister ! I will have to check for you in the Ensign too ! By the way if you would check my blog once in awhile you will see that I have you tagged for a fun little questionaire! Love ya !
