Virtually! Every! Angle!

Had a pretty good week. Tuesday I was at David's place, just waiting around until we would go up to Ashland/Medford area later in the morning, and while I was there his parents had a little birthday thing for him...just before they would leave him...again. That was pretty fun, since all his gifts were things that he would use for his mission. A suit, camera, scriptures/marking stuff, carrying case thing, and what not. Anyhoo, it was fun because of how we'd talk about the little things that make the mission experience better and such. Just re-living the olden days through David's birthday.
Eventually Matt showed up and we headed off for Ashland for an interview that we were taking David to. We decided on the way up that we'd grab some "Double Downs" from KFC, because we knew they were going to be...memorable...before we had even tried them. They weren't as bad as we thought they would be, but they definitely weren't items we'd consume ever again.

Got to Ashland, David had his interview with Pres. Woodley, was reminded again of the mission from all of it, because that's where and with whom I had my interview.
Later on in the day, after watching the Robin Hood movie, we went to Tin Tin Buffet, since David had never been there before apparently. While we were there I came across a pair of full-time missionaries dining out. I eventually noticed that there was actually a whole gaggle of elders in the restaurant. So that was pretty cool, but also weird that they happened to be in the vicinity, adding to the already mission-mindful day.
But it didn't stop there. Thursday I stuck around in the middle of the valley long enough to try checking out the Missionary Correlation Meeting that I hadn't been to in months. And that was pretty nice. Still didn't have anything to contribute like before, but it still felt good to be there. And then today, for the Fifth Sunday Priesthood/Auxiliary meeting in church we had another missionary effort-related theme. Some of which involved Matt and Mitch demonstrating some goofballery in some role playing.
Anydangway, it was a pretty good week. Not only because of all the missionary moments throughout the week, but also because I got to see some good friends during the weekend. Always nice to see Sam and Carolyn because they're just the sweetest friends anyone could have. Wish I could see them more, but oh well. Go forth and live your grown up lives.
