I had three ward members contact me recently about the Brick House donating for different things. We try to participate in a number of different things and had participated in all three of these in previous years. Today I made up gift certificates for two of them and tonight I took them around.
The Sons of Utah Pioneers is one of the groups we have donated to as part of an event being held to raise money for scholarships. Brother Morrell asked me about it and so I stopped by their home tonight to drop them off. Sister Morrell invited me in and so I sat down and visited with them for a while. They are awesome folks and I really enjoyed sharing stories and learning from them. They served a mission in Hawaii and taught at BYUH. I thought that was great. We talked bugs and geckos. It was a good time. They also served a mission at the church history museum which I thought was great. Sister Morrell invited me to put a mission on my list of things to do when I get older. I assured her it was on there and talked about the missions my grandparents served and how they influenced me from a young age.
Anyway, it is good to visit with good people. They have so much experience they can share and I can learn from. The Morrells are wonderful people and I admire them greatly.
