“Works just as well at half the price!”

FHL, you may know nothing about digital music players, but your home teachers love you nonetheless.

Regarding Pres. Monson, does anyone else think that “Makafeke” makes a really good Mormon faux swear word?

And it’s actually appropriate, too, when used for something that tempts us and leads us to harm.

(Oh, and I have a 40G non-iPod. Works just as well at half the price! Go Creative! Woo!)

Well done! I think this is the only time in history that the Home Teachers have outdone the Visiting Teachers in consistently contacting their families (imaginary though they may be).

Thanks meems!

Hey, HTers, I’ll make the Ben & Jerry’s Superfudge Brownies for next time, with some ice cold COKE, I mean, Milk!

Thanks, brothers.
Wow! Two for two. And I didn’t even have to make an excuse of why I wouldn’t be home.

I appreciate the time you take out of your busy schedule to visit me. Would you care for some cream crackers and brie? No? How about this pie I made? My husband? Oh, he’s hiding in the bedroom with earphones on. He’s fine.

Thanks for the visit. See you next month.

And, I’ve been wondering about you too, Sarebear. Good to see you.

Now, if those whom we home teach do not frequent the ‘nacle, but do have email, we can count this as a visit we make, if we forward the link right?

I cannot wait until Elder Monson becomes the prophet. I’m sick and tired of all the direct guidance we get from Pres. Hinkley — it just makes me feel guilty. Under Monson it will be way better — no guilt, just good heart warming stories — and they only get better with repetition!

And then Elder Packer will take over.

We had one of those mega-stake conferences yesterday–you know, the satellite kind, with all the stakes from Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming. Anyway, L. Tom Perry’s talk was based on Pres Monson’s home teaching message. So everyone who attended Stake Conference in three states got home taught by a real, live apostle! And on the last day of the month, just like in the real world! Bonus for me to get the same message, only with a slightly different take, from the BCC home teachers. I would have loved to have seen Elder Perry swing a rake around.

The final speaker was Pres Monson. HP (#9), you would have loved it. He told several wonderful stories, most of which had little discernable relationship to his stated topic. The kicker to it is that, for me at least, the Spirit was stronger when he was just riffing on stories than when he was actually trying to make a point. Reminded me once again that, while he isn’t much of a preacher, he is a wonderful storyteller. I actually enjoyed much of a Stake Conference, for the first time I remember in nearly 20 years.

I’m glad to know you, Sara. I like you.

I like all you guys. Like is better than love. I think.

That is one of my favorite songs. Honestly.

I need a blessing, guys. Come on over, I’ve got the oil. I think you’d make great home teachers.

I needed that, we haven’t had home teachers in years.
