Last year Elder Gene R. Cook came to Arizona to reorganize our stake presidency. The outgoing president wore a mustache. Elder Cook commented on his facial hair. The president’s response was that he did not know that it was a rule. Elder Cook told him that while the Brethren have not made any formal pronouncements regarding facial hair, they hoped that local leaders would see their examples and follow suit. The next day at the conference he ha a cleanly shaven face. While not a big deal in most people’s eyes, it was a good example on supporting the Brethren.
