Deep Thoughts

"Great things are brought about and burdens lightened through the efforts of many hands “anxiously engaged in a good cause.” Imagine what the millions of Latter-day Saints could accomplish in the world if we functioned like a beehive in our focused, concentrated commitment to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ." M. Russell Ballard October 2012 General Conference

The Elders

We have been having the missionaries over as often as possible.  It has become a regular occurence for them to just show up some evenings and they are even comfortable enough to call and ask to come by for dinner when they have gotten cancelled on.  Cody has been able to go out with them a few times a week and he loves doing that.  We have them over for dinner as often as we can get on the sceudle but they serve in 3 wards and we all have take turns.  They came over for Pi Day-this was just after transfers.  We kept Elder Lane, lost Elder Steenstra and got Elder Percy.  We got to see Elder Steenstra the next Saturday though because of a baptism in our ward.  He and another Elder who had served out here got to come for the evening.  We had a little dessert party at our house after the baptism and that was fun!  The boys ask a few times a week when the elders are coming over.  Usually it is when I am in the kitchen making a big meal-sometimes they are coming and sometimes they are not.  They joined us for lunch on Saturday and watched the afternoon session of conference with us.  They are such good young men!  They are obedient and helpful and funny and just really great to have in our home.  We appreciate their service and we are glad to share our home, food and family with them!
