Sketchbook: Going in to overtime

There are some folks who attend church to fill a spiritual need. There are those who attend to also fill a social need. Our family knows that when regular meetings are over, we still have at least a half hour of socializing in the foyer — and that’s after the hallway and library visits are done.

Watching over the young 'uns!

Have you ever had the missionaries come to dinner or to a lesson and then one of them isn't your regular missionary? It can be a little disorienting when they're on exchanges.

Taking charge of the call

Sometimes it seems like it's super expensive to get amissionary ready to go out into the field, with all the clothes and supplies and everything — especially when you include all the medical costs. I won't even mention the spiritual investment!

But it is so totally worth it!

Sketchbook: Collared

I’m not sure if this one even makes sense. That’s why it stays in the sketchbook!
