Los Sacerdotes

Melon's semi-annual tour to an A-frame meeting house in North Salt lake with Luke and Clint took on Grandpa Atkin last Saturday. After picking Clint up we nabbed Grandpa at the Marriott in downtown SLC. Then, after capturing Luke we continued the tradition of having the oldest of the bunch buy dinner. Grandpa sprung for the burgers, fries, and refreshment before we hunkered down in the A-frame and listened to the wisdom of latter day prophets.
The Priesthood session lessons are usually packed with anecdotes intended to capture the attention of 12 to 18 year-olds. Fortuneately this plays into the hands of our crowd as well. We heard stories of Lockheed L1011s, Commanche Helicopters, New cars, Army Rangers, and rodeos. So, Grandpa and Clint only took short naps. All of this interwoven with the principals of preparedness, empathy, charity, and service made for a memorable evening for 3 generations of sacerdotes.

Nate, you dudes all look the same age...pick your age! What is the A frame. Is that a metaphor for the conference center or a ski chalet? Blog on...I still need you to show me how to do a slide show, No comprehendo. ld

Nate, here is a third grader joke for you: What is the difference between boogers and broccoli, Who ever heard of eating broccoli!
