Going for the gold

I'll bet with just a little work we could come up with some great ideas for missionary Olympics.
 

There's that song again

One of perks of traveling — especially as a missionary — is the connection you feel with the people. It's one way that Heavenly Father lets us know that we are all his children, wherever we may be.

I always get a little choked up when I hear the Korean national anthem. My mom, who was Canadian, would bawl like a baby whenever she heard "O, Canada'!

The cuisine of the Morning Calm

With the PyeongChang Winter Olympics starting tomorrow, the eyes of the world turn once again to Korea. And when my thoughts turn to Korea, I naturally go to my own experiences as a missionary there, and — of course — to Sis. Kerry Jo.

As a missionary, one thing that stays with you no matter where you serve are the tastes and the smells of your area.

Maybe offering medals would be good incentive for some folks to do their home teaching. Maybe.

Olympic leftovers

One of our stops in Munich included the Olympic Village. Most of the kids didn't understand the historical significance of the Munich Olympic Games — and not just Mark Spitz!

Zen of the Olympics

Many Olympic sports involve skills that are useful -- running, jumping, throwing, getting somewhere quickly. But what about curling?

Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy watching the sport. I just wonder about its origins. It baffles me how someone came up with it!

The art of compromise

One last visit to the Olympic games, thanks in part to my little padawans.

Primarily speaking

So we just witnessed the start of the London Games! To commemorate the Olympics, our Primary is having their own Summer Games. They asked me to do some drawings for their announcements and invitations, so here we are. Enjoy the games!
