According to Houston* (B.C.) Today, Tyler Beck and Brad Blazzard (hometowns not given, so we assume Alpine, Utah) had been prosthelytizing in the area for seven months when they discovered the 20-inch footprints. Sayeth Elder Beck:

The first thing we thought was that someone was playing a trick on us. But we don't know anyone our age who would do that and our house in on the southside, so pretty much in the middle of nowhere."

I have to rule a hoax out. First, Canadians have no sense of humor and elders cannot lie, plus they are trained to be highly skeptical of hard-to-swallow yarns. Thus, I can only think of a couple of things that might explain the elders' find:

A. A troubling variation on the beloved Three Nephites myth.

B. The president of the church's new Yeti mission stopped by for a chat.

C. Sister LaDonna of LaVerkin and Sister Brunhilda, Midway, posted in nearby Buck Flats, still haven't gotten the knack to wearing shoes.

D. Elders Beck and Blazzard desperately need a convert.
