Even more true

I thought this was relevant when I first ran it six months ago. It seems even more true today!

Setting expectations

Some of my best memories from my mission came from when I suffered the most. Some of my worst memories from my mission also come when I suffered the most!

I can still remember the best places to eat in my old areas. Although I'm certain that by now most of them are long gone — but their memories live on!
 

Wearin' o' the green!

Sometimes it's easy to go a little overboard with holiday celebrations!

Happy St.Patrick's Day!
 

Sketchbook: For our day

There are a LOT of podcasts about the scriptures and about the Church. Some of them are really good. Others? Well, they run the spectrum. The thing to keep in mind, in my humble opinion, is that podcasts can make a good supplement to scripture study. But nothing beats being in the scriptures yourself.

That's my soapbox for the week!
 

And it's time for a five-minute break!

Some days it does seem a little intense at the MTC. Our teachers were always good about sensing when we needed a break or had to blow off a little steam.

I don't remember doing much in the way of arts and crafts in the MTC. That came later, in the field.
