The owner of this blog is a little rusty...

So, we attended a Spanish session in the temple this last Saturday, and this is how he felt going in...

This is how he felt afterwards...
No amount of Medicated bumper ointment can help his Rust-eze skillz, er, rusty skills.

Mission memories & hopeful holidays...

Sister-in-law spoke in church today, reminding at least one author of this blog of a few similar mission stories.

I equate Rose's story somewhat with Jose's story - my first baptism from a part-member family referral.  Jose, years later, was married and sealed and found to be employed as a security guard for one of the most important buildings in Merida.

I also reminisced in dealing with one of my last companions, who was not a very rule-abiding missionary.  So much that we missed a whole zone conference in just riding busses back and forth for a few hours to change my companion's pants - since khakis were not allowed as a mission rule (they made us look more like vacationing tourists, and not a serious business-like image).

Visiting friends and family and eating yummy food this Thanksgiving was a real treat.  Seeing relatives we hadn't seen for quite some time, and playing games was particularly eventful (Mom & Aunt L).  We hope Grandpa gets to feeling better, and look forward to a fun Christmas re-visit.
