#calledtoserve
I haven't seen any missionaries armed with tablet computers yet, but I'm sure they're coming soon.
Which makes me wonder...what apps should they load (the apps on the download page are a given) to missionary iPads?

Recycled: Callings
This cartoon represents one of my first interactions with another real, live blogger! Sis. Williams suggested the idea for this cartoon, and she shared it with her family. As a newbie blogger, I felt like I'd gone viral!
Sis. Williams now has nine children, and is an active contributor to Pinterest. I think she's responsible for about half its content!

Recycled: Explore Provo
It's time to do a little recycling! For the next couple of days, I'm going to pull out some of my old cartoons. I published some of these on the blog way back before anybody besides me was around to read them!
This is one of my favorites from the Explore Provo series that I did when I was with the Utah Department of Transportation.

Monday Sketchbook: So many choices!
This wound up staying in the sketchbook because of one thing: the word "Barbie." For one thing, it's trademarked, and Mattel's attorneys are vigilant about its use. For another, there's the whole "Barbie" concept -- she's not representative of today's young women. I like the idea of the playsets, but the tradeoff wasn't worth it, so in the sketchbook it stays.

Here they come!
Sis. Kerry Jo is on her way to the mission field!
Did you see the infographic that the Church put out about the number of missionaries now serving? It's gone from 58,000 in September to 75,000 now. Our new local mission president, President Samuelian, said that our mission could be made of up to 50 percent sister missionaries.
Like Elder Holland said, "Here they come!"

Dieting for the birds
You know what happens when you drop a sandwich in the parking lot at the beach? It's like a scene from The Birds. Or Finding Nemo.
I imagine, then, that to the seagull palate, crickets are more of a delicacy. Perhaps a dish to be enjoyed at holiday time!

The more things stay the same...
The concept of the Church being the same everyplace is one that can be hard for kids to wrap their heads around. I remember visiting another ward when my oldest was a kid. One of the speakers said something about "this is the true Church." My son looked at me with shocked, wide eyes and said, "But I thought our church back home was the true one!"

Called to serve...in just a bit
I made a mistake!
The other day when I ran another one of Sis. Kerry Jo's cartoons, I was supposed to write about a few other very worthwhile missionary blogs!
First off, my niece (actually, my cousin's daughter -- but for convenience's sake, we'll call her my niece), Sis. Kimmie, is serving in Ukraine. She's a hoot! Kickin' it in Donuts tells of her amazing and awesome adventures in her own words. Check it out!
Next is my nephew, Elder Bahr, who is serving in the Czech Republic. He comes home at Christmastime, and his blog gives a bit different perspective than Kimmie's, but it's also well worth reading. The Czech Missionary shows how the work is going in that part of the world.
Every so often, I run my Mission President cartoons. But have you ever wondered what it's like to me a mission mom? My friend Kristin is doing just that. Her husband was called to be mission president in Honduras. Hermana Kristin shows us the behind the scenes operations through her photos and writing at The Mission President's Wife.
Lastly, but not leastly, Arie Van De Graaff offers up his perspective on missionary life every Monday.
Missionary work. It's out there!

Getting to the basics
Time to check in with Sis. Kerry Jo. She should be about ready to leave the MTC and head out into the field any time now...!

Small acts
I figure it's about time for another Not Quite Zen cartoon. They're some of my favorites!
