ON OUR 16TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AS THE "ETERNITY 
                MIRRORS TESTIFY:  "THROUGHOUT ALL ETERNITY!"

We celebrated our 8 month mission anniversary by going to a "sandlot" league football game that a number of our Institute kids were playing in.  We really enjoyed it and not even the 40 degree temperatures and the fact that we barely lost could dampen our spirits.  Speaking of which, the constant drizzling rain of the last 6 weeks was kind and took a night off.  Go Juggernauts!

In a recent lesson, we were asked to think of something that we don't ordinarily associate with being thankful for.  After a bit of thought, I replied:  "I'm thankful that chocolate isn't part of the Word of Wisdom!"   (Do you think I'm getting "trunky?")

This was voted the funniest joke in the mission over the last twelve months:

A non-denominational church was about to begin their services when the devil suddenly appeared in his vilest form screeching obscenities and threatening the very souls of the parishioners.  Everyone in the congregation fled leaving the chapel empty except for one elderly man sitting in the  front pew.  The devil cussed and harassed the old guy but to no avail--he just calmly sat there with a nearly amused look on his face.  Finally, the devil said, "Do you know who I am?"  "Yep."  "Then why aren't you afraid of me?"  The old fellow looked at Satan and grinned victoriously, "Cause I've been married to your sister for forty-four years!"
