At the dinner table
Judd: I'll say grace tonight. Our heavenly father, thank you for your mercy in providing us with this food. Please give your light and blessings to our guest, Jun. Amen. [everyone says “Amen”]
Jun: Thank you, Judd. You look just like your brother! [takes a bite of chicken] This is delicious! So, Jason told me that you're already a priest?
Judd: Yes, I may be only sixteen, but yes. We young Mormon men enter the Aaronic priesthood when we're twelve. We help out with church functions and prepare to be missionaries.

在晚餐桌上
贾德：今晚我来带餐前祷告。我们的天父，谢谢您的慈悲赐给我们这些食物。请把您的光荣与祝福带给我们的客人，小君。阿们。（大家说‘阿们’）
小君：谢谢你，贾德。你看起来就像是你哥！（咬了一口鸡肉）这真好吃！杰森跟我说你已经是个牧师了？
贾德：对，我也许只有十六岁，但我是个牧师。我们年轻的摩门男子在十二岁时就是次级传教士了。我们帮助教会的工作，然后准备当个传教士。
