The Guest Stars of
"All About Mormons?"
by Wild Willie Westwood
Gary Harrison and his family (Karen, Jenny, Mark, Dave, Gary Sr., and Amanda)
Gary Harrison is the new student in Mr. Garrison's class. He was Utah's wrestling champion among the kids in his age group, as well as a tennis champion. He comes to South Park with a 4.0 grade point average and two toothpaste commercials under his belt. He's terrible upbeat and polite, two characteristics the other boys recoil at. They urge Stan to be the welcoming committee and beat Gary up. Stan goes to beat him up, but Gary disarms him with perception - since Gary is the new kid, he's ready to take whatever punishment is meted out to newbies. Stan ends up going to Gary's house that night. After he returns to his home he asks his father about Mormonism, but Randy instead leaves to confront Gary's father and tell him to have his son stay away from Stan. Randy is disarmed by their niceness and perception and has the family over for dinner the next day. Stan perceives this politeness to be a subversive way to get him to become a Mormon and he fights it. Gary is offended, since all he wanted was to be Stan's friend. The Harrisons themselves are nice people, quite relaxed and tolerant of other beliefe - they don't really try to force their beliefs on anyone, or to subvert anyone else's beliefs. Because of their Family Home Evenings, they encourage each other and rejoice in each other's accomplishments, something you don't see in a regular household. The parents are Gary and Karen. The boys are Mark, Gary, and Dave. The girls are Jenny and Amanda.
Martin and Lucy Harris, Moroni
You can find Joseph Smith's image among the guests in "SuperBestFriends." His story follows: he is the prophet sent by Moroni to evangelize both the Native Americans and the apostate Christians. He was directed to a hill on which he dug and found a box which contained gold tablets and two seer stones: the Urim and the Thummim. He would then drop these stones into a hat, looked into the hat, and dictate what he saw there, saying that a divine light shone in the hat, revealing to him the characters on the gold tablets (which he would not read directly, as the tablets were too big for the had) and the English translations of said characters. One of his scribes, Martin Harris, agreed to poblish Smith's translation, the Book of Mormon. Harris took some of the unfinished book to his wife Lucy to show her what Smith was working on. Lucy Harris had her doubts about Joseph Smith's ability to translate the tablets, so she hid 116 pages he had already translated, daring him to translate them again. If this is indeed a testament of Jesus Christ, Smith should have no trouble coming up with an exact replica. Smith instead told Harris that Moroni told him not to translate from the tablets he used the first time, but from another set of tablets that covered the same info, but more concisely and spiritually. Moroni is the angel who came to see Joseph Smith about starting up a new church, as all the other churches then in esixtence seem to have gotten Jesus' message all wrong. He told Joseph Smith where to find the gold tablets he was to use to dictate or divine this new testament of Jesus Christ, and what to do when the translation was doubted. The missing pages have been lost and presumed burned.
Blacksmith, Customer, and Woman; a butler and his wife
These four are just examples of people who questioned or doubted Joseph Smith about his work and his revelation.
