Old Geezers

We had a family picnic today and Amber and I were sitting in the park just enjoying ourselves when Amber leaned over to me, pointed over to a bench across the playground at my father and my grandfather said "look at those two old geezers over there." I just had to go take a picture. Compared to Amber's family, my family doesn't do a whole lot together. so we do have family gatherings, sometimes it's hard to have a conversation with my cousins. But we had fun anyway.

We had stake conference today and learned about how to prepare our children for missions. sometimes you think about that stuff and tell your kids get older, maybe teenage years, but really the preparation starts now when they are young.


"The single most important thing you can do to prepare for a call to serve is to become a missionary long before you go on a mission. Please notice that . . . I emphasized becoming rather than going. . . .".. It is possible . . . to go on a mission and not become a missionary, and this is not what the Lord requires or what the Church needs."

(David A. Bednar, "Becoming a Missionary," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 45)
