We all have our own mission El Guapo (to quote the great Lucky Day). Mine was the godless nihilism of post-Soviet Eastern Europe. My older son's was the darkness and savagery of muslim Senegal. My younger son's was the vacuous rabidity the Bible Belt. My daughter is currently serving in the Real El Guapo's backyard.
Mad respect for the missionaries FROM the corridor who get called TO the corridor. This honestly says a lot about this young man. One of the sisters serving in my Tooele stake is from West Jordan. One of the most solid young women I've met.
IMHO LDS missions in the LDS corridor are among the hardest because all the non-LDS see us in our whole, ugly glory. They live and work with us. Watch us be human. Which means failing routinely to live up to our own (admittedly lofty) standards. On top of putting up with us being normal, flawed, fumbling humans like the rest of the country. Those two things combined are a whammy on the project. I have immense respect for corridor missionaries and their effort. It's a tough chore.

To everyone voting blue this election. I wish you the prosperity of Venezuela, the salaries of Cuba, the freedom of North Korea, the human rights of China, the women's rights of Iran, the democracy of Russia, and the security of Mexico 💥

They are voting against Paxton, Trump and the gop establishment in Texas. I don’t think they are for socialism. Texas republicans have done a terrible job governing, the billionaires control them and they can’t/wont do anything about it.
I never saw him as such, and therein lies the beauty-- both of the character and an era of the Star Trek franchise where the goal was a conversation, not a sermon.
The "Typhoid Mary Democrat" (brilliant moniker btw) is one of the reasons Utah has become unrecognizable and unaffordable.
I wish cats didn't assume humans are as autistically aware of where they're stepping as cats are.
Feel free to weave between my feet as I'm walking to the bathroom in the morning, bud, but do so at you're own peril.
Yes, yes I would.

Census numbers get used for all sorts of things besides voting that need to be scaled by residents, illegal or no. You wouldn't want local emergency services or schools cut back bc there are lots of illegals in your area.
They wouldn’t find it in the earliest Christian churches either 🤷♂️

A month into using Muse and so far it's pretty much like:
"Heads up, that email from that Nigerian prince about money transfers from last week is still waiting for a response. I've drafted one for you, just waiting to send as soon as you give the word!"
Ward splits are tough. Just said goodbye to my 2nd counselor, a dear friend and one of the best men I know.
I’ll still see him all the time (he lives just a couple streets over), but the bishopric experience is unique and fosters bonds you just can’t build any other way.
I love the new @byu_creamery, but I wish they’d have learned lessons from the old place:
✅ Still not enough parking
✅ Coke machines broken 87% of the time
✅ Literally the same number of tables as the old place.
My son’s view of that last Notre Dame play from the sideline. He had to stop filming to protect the camera from the field storm.
France deserves this.
And so will we if we’re dumb enough to let it happen here.
