We gave the Elders gag ties for April Fools day. They've had fun with them, as you can see.

Branch Non-Talent Talent Show
Our youth decided that it would be fun to host a "Non-talent Talent Show". We'll we were all for that. Elder Webster and I have many talents, so sad, none that could be called culturally refined. So we were excited about the prospects of being able to share a non-talent. Our idea ; ) "Elder Short". Surprisingly no one here has ever seen a Mr Short presentation, let alone an Elder Short. It was a hit, we had such fun sharing our presentation. There was a great many talents and non-talents shared, as well as a good number of visitors some of which even participated. It was WONDERFUL and fun. Of course a pot luck dinner followed with good conversation and fellowshipping.

Chapel of Ease
There are days when the thought of taking it easy, kicking back with our feet up sounds pretty darn great! Then I'm reminded of a talk Elder Uchtdorf gave where he is talking about Nehemiah of the Old Testament: "Our Heavenly Father seeks those who refuse to allow the trivial to hinder them in their pursuit of the eternal. He seeks those who will not allow the attraction of ease or the traps of the adversary to distract them from the work He has given them to perform. He seeks those whose actions conform to their words—those who say with conviction, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down.” Best we get back to WORK ; ) (check out the cute red mail box....)
