The mission assignment has been made and unless something out of the ordinary happens, the call letter will arrive on Wednesday. Â We should have even more to be thankful for on Thanksgiving this year.

Everyone told me that after shoulder surgery, physical therapy really sucks. Â They were neither kidding nor exaggerating. It’s really bad. The glenoid labrum, the part of my shoulder that they repaired, is usually pretty flexible and moves a bit when the shoulder moves. Â But when the labrum has ben re-attached, it doesn’t flex very well.
Yesterday, my son’s mission call status was updated to “Ready For Assignment.” Once a week, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles reviews new missionary applications and makes missionary assignments. Â This usually happens on Fridays, but it can happen on other days of the week as well. I often wondered about how this
Now the waiting begins. My son has finished the process of submitting mission “papers” and now we wait to find out where he will be serving his mission for the next two years. Â We will find out when he will be starting his full-time missionary service. Â We will find out if he will be learning

I don’t remember much else from the Saturday Morning session, because everything in my older son’s life suddenly changed. He was going to be
Last week, I was able to spend a few days at Flaming Gorge with both of my sons. Â It was the only “high adventure” camp that I was able to attend with both of my sons. Â We had a really good time. Â We floated a bit of the Green River on rubber rafts. Â We toured
This morning, as I drove in to work, I heard another radio advertisement for a local spa/hot tub company. Â They recently had a huge “Memorial Day Sell” and talked about how much money one might save “…after mell-in rebate.” I don’t think lazy/mispronounced vowels bothered me as much before I learned to speak Dutch. Â After
During the planning phases of a trip, I was in the process of reserving a rental car. Â We recently had some repairs done to our Subaru Outback, and the only company in town that had an economy car available was Hertz. At the end of that rental, we had a “scratch-off” card that was supposed
On Sunday night, I flew to San Francisco to attend a technical conference. Â I arrived rather late and rode BART into the downtown area. Â From there, I had a 10-ish minute walk to my hotel. Maybe I just haven’t been in the right (or wrong?) parts of Salt Lake late at night, but it’s pretty
