Comments:
So I'm standing in the priesthoood circle last night as my good friend Bob Evans is confirming his 2nd son, and my mind is wandering a bit. I am thinking- amazing, if you would have told me 20 years ago that I would be standing here beside my missionary companion, I don't think I would have believed it. We came from 2 very different places. Him-Malibu California, convert, only member in his family; me-rural northern Utah, pioneer stock. And yet somehow the mission brought us together, and we became companions and friends.

I haven't stopped thinking about the mission since last night. I was curious about the timing. So I pulled out my misisonary journal, and found that my suspicion was valid- Bob and I were companions 20 years ago to the day, Guacimo. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Apparently I haven't updated my profile for 6 years. So here's the cliff notes. After traveling around the county we moved back to Utah, southern Utah County. I have an amazing wife and 4 kids- 15, 10, 8, and 5. I work in a couple of the hosptials in Utah County. Life is great.

I taught a lesson in teachers quorum on Sunday about missions. I was talking to the boys about some of the blessings of being a missionary. Life-long and eternal friendships was at the top of my list. For those of you who I haven't talked to for some time, I would love the oppurtunity.

Dave

LDS QUOTE:
"You are a great army of returned missionaries. Go forward with new zeal and determination, and through your example shine the light of the gospel in this troubled world. This is the Lord's work in which we are engaged. God lives. Jesus is the Christ. We belong to His Church. This is my witness to you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
- Elder L. Tom Perry
Ensign, Nov. 2001
