Called to Serve

We are so fortunate to have wonderful missionaries serving in our Ward.  Jessica goes each Saturday to a "Missionary Pow-Wow" where she and other youth in our stake get together.  The missionaries have an object lesson for them.  Afterwards, the youth usually hang out and have a snack, enjoy each other's company and then sometimes watch the BYU game.  Jess has grown to enjoy and respect the missionaries so much.

We recently had Elder Draper and Elder Moli (the kids enjoyed calling him Elder Guacamole) over for dinner.  They were so fun.  They gave us a wonderful object lesson that involved Jonathan holding a tea bag in his had that was on fire!  He was brave and didn't move.  Obviously, that was a lesson in faith.  Then, Jonathan talked them into a game of Skip-bo. 

We really enjoyed having such wonderful men in our home.  They taught our family so much about faith and staying true to the gospel.  I am thankful for the example they are to Jessica and the other youth each week.
