World Without Masks

Abstract

In a speech delivered in the sacrament meeting of the Stanford First Ward in June 2021, Johnson discusses a world without masks. He states that the unmasking has reminded him how lovely it is to see faces everywhere: smiles, frowns, freckles, dimples, chins, noses. Eyes may be the window to the soul, but we've recognized during the pandemic how much we lose when half a face is hidden behind a mask. He notes that people should begin to see the world as it really is, their position as it really is, and, most importantly, to see those around as they really are.
