How do you know when you're done?

There are still many people who struggle with the concept of ministering.

My challenge has been in how to minister to the "Do Not Contact" people. Sometimes they're a little less receptive than one would hope for!

Sketchbook: Many hands make light work

I was pondering the Young Women's program the other day, and sketched out a few cartoon ideas. A lot of the ideas had to do with family and service, nice things like that. And then this is one that popped out of my pencil. I'm pretty sure this should stay in the Sketchbook!

It's going to take some time this time

I know a lot of people are really looking forward to the new two-hour block of meetings on Sunday. I'm one of those who will probably feel guilty enough to want to linger longer because it will be too early to go home!

There is plenty indeed for my two hands to do

Do you have a teenager in your home who constantly texts? Ask them to flex their thumb muscle — the one that looks like it's a bicep for your hand (I believe it's called the abductor pollicis brevis). It's probably way beefier than yours!

And now, a little geography mission

It was on this date many (many) years ago that I arrived in Korea. My first area was Pohang on the east coast; it was the first time that I've ever had the experience of my eyeballs being frozen shut.

It was an awesome experience!

You think your teacher is boring...!

My guess is that this is the week that a lot of people figure out just how easy it was to sit in Gospel Doctrine and be fed a lesson every week.

Come, Follow Me will encourage a spirit of learning and of gospel study in the home. There are a ton of resources available to make it more exciting and engaging, and take our study of the Savior to a deeper level.

The Countdown: The Top Ten, Part 2 (5-1)

Happy New Year, and welcome to the rest of the Top Ten! Now, without further ado:

5. So many changes this year! This one surprised a lot of people. Remember the old blue and brown versions?

4. Family history is always good fodder for LDS cartoons. This one was a favorite.

3. We took our son to the MTC at the end of March. We had to warn him not to try this.

2. So many of my cartoons became obsolete this past year! I thought I was safe putting this out there — and then Pres. Nelson announced an emphasis on using the proper name of the Church! Plus our association added a new member, Summer Bird. I also learned than when you ask, "What's next?" you'll get an answer! All I can say is, thank goodness we still have missionaries!

And now — speaking of Pres. Nelson's announcement — the No. 1 cartoon of 2018!

1. A swarm by any other name...

Thank you for tuning in year after year! I love sharing my cartoons with you, and I love the feedback and ideas I receive from you. Let us go forward with faith in every footstep in 2019! Have a safe and prosperous new year.

Come back tomorrow for a piece of fun news!
