Elder Johnson' grand adventure

Elder Johnson looks in mirroir and says, "NO"! I forgot I am allergic to ibuprofin

A bit later
All this for a headache he didn't have!

Elder Cowley is going home in May. About 5 weeks ago he became very vocal about his 3 months to sexy diet. He was refusing all treats, eating nothing but salad and working out every morning without fail. The last time he bragged about it he had lost 9 lbs (he has gained 40 on his mission). Last night during dinner Sister Mott looked over and saw Elder Cowley with a bowl of ice cream sitting on his chest and a mouth full of cookies. She turned to Elder Mott and whispered, "Does this mean Elder Cowley is off his diet?" Well, it took seconds for Elder Mott to make everyone aware and then the laughter began. He defended himself by explaining that he's decided to "settle for less" and shoot for husky instead of sexy!
(We just love these kids!)

And finally, Monday was President Summerhay's birthday. The APs were so excited that they bought him a cake from Dairy Queen and it had BYU on it. They ate it Monday night, but when we got to the Mission Home on Tuesday night they had saved a piece just for Elder Mott to eat.

This is again Transfer Week. Wow! The past six weeks just flew by! Last night we were at the Mission Home for a dinner and testimony meeting for our departing missionaries (which also meant the Chambers!)

Elder Madsen

I am going to try to repost the video of Elder Madsen singing a scripture. He knows over 300 of them. He was home schooled and they made them up. At home his brother plays the piano for them. Hopefully this works

Baptism/ Assistants

This is the baptism when the man was confirmed to the Melchezidek Priesthood. And these are the ASSistants making burritos with President.
