Sketchbook: An unsolicited critique

...and it was shortly after that happened that Nephi took all those who were friendly toward him and fled. Coincidence?

That's why they call it "Sharing Time"

I've seen this happen before!

It's a 24/7 thing

Actually the one time I was really sick as a missionary, it was kind of cool (other than being really sick, that is!). Ward members brought us food, the ward mission leader took me to the doctor, and the doctor gave me all kinds of interesting medicine! It was nice to see ward members rally around to try to help me feel better.

Called to not serve

That's the worst, trying to get a substitute when you're supposed to be the substitute!

Getting lost in translation

For me, getting any of my homework done was a miracle!

Yet another day to celebrate!

It's March 2, Read Across America Day, sometimes known as Dr. Seuss's birthday. It's a day in which we celebrate reading and encourage young readers!

We thought it would be fun to capitalize on it with a public service announcement/meme to share on social media.

There was another one that I started but didn't pursue (below). Not that it was a bad idea, but it didn't go along with the reading theme. It looked more like the Cat in the Hat was part of a work zone safety campaign. And although I'm sure he's all for work zone safety, that's not what Read Across America is about, and there could be licensing/copyright issues that we didn't want to deal with.

Anyway, celebrate the day with a good book — and put a wocket in your pocket!

Spring cleaning

There was one apartment in our mission where we were tempted to do this. We got permission to take a week off from proselyting just so we could clean it up.*

*For any missionary moms out there, that was the exception rather than the rule!
