Cleaning house

While sorting pictures today, I realized there were a few I never posted last semester... so here they are.

Familiar Faces

All of these pictures were taken for no reason other than that we had a camera and nothing else to do.

Good luck to our missionaries!

Hayden, Brett, and Mikey have all received mission calls and are set to head out to the field this summer. Hayden is headed for El Salvador, Brett will be serving near Salt Lake City, and Mikey has been called to Las Vegas. We're all super proud of them, and we're looking forward to seeing them in two years. Good luck, brothers!

(Brett and Mikey somehow avoided the institute camera for an entire semester. We'll have to hold their faces in our memory until they return.)

There are a few more future missionaries waiting for mission calls this summer, too.

Go Team Mountaineer!

End of the Year Cookout

To celebrate the end of a great semester in Morgantown, the LDS Institute of Religion and the Morgantown University Ward had a cookout during dead week. It was a super evening, and we're very grateful to Sister Lund from the family ward for letting us use her neighborhood pavilion! 

Asleep at WVU

Have you ever heard of Asleep at BYU? I came across it a few months ago and felt inspired.

Yesterday's FHE

Yeah, that's right, I said "yesterday." As in "less than 24 hours ago." I'm getting better at this!

After a wonderfully timed lesson on dealing with stress, we took care of some of ours with a trip to Dairy Queen and a game of frisbee behind the Mountain Lair.

Meggie's best friend is visiting for a few days. We're super excited to have her here!

Oh, and Sam is back from training... I guess that's exciting too. ;)

Meggie and Hampton dominated. Too bad they were on different teams.

The frisbee game lasted long into the night... maybe. I left before 9:00, but Sam, Hayden, and Match were still there.

This was a great way to end FHE for the semester. The fun isn't over yet, though. Tonight is our institute movie night at 7, Book of Mormon class is still on for tomorrow, and we have Friday forum for the next two weeks, in addition to our end of the semester cookout this Friday at 6!

Chalking Up Campus

For FHE tonight, we split into three teams and wrote scriptures, quotes, and inspiring messages on the sidewalks around the downtown campus of WVU. I don't know about everyone else, but Brad and I had the opportunity to talk to a few people about what we were doing, and we heard people talking about the messages we'd written. It was a fun activity and a great missionary opportunity.

Jackson's Mill YSA Conference

Our theme was Anchored to the Lord. Our service project was writing testimonies in copies of the Book of Mormon for the Charleston WV mission. Our speakers were Mara and Danny Kofoed of "A Blog About Love." Our people are awesome.
