The first MAJOR snow storm of the season has hit Utah. It has snowed before but this one lasted 2 1/2 days and we ended up with a good 20 inches. Anthony, in true Eagle Scout - Pre-Missionary, fashion tackled our driveway and the sidewalks, including the neighbor who isn't home (with Nic's help) and than came with me to work and proceeded to shovel out my sisters drive way and sidewalks. None of this would be a problem except that we refuse to replace his shoes (leaving for mission in 10 days) and he has outgrown his boots. Therefore, my son, Mr Helpful, is out in the snow in tennis shoes with HOLES in them. You can freaking see his toes. Ugh - head shake - pitiful. However, I am grateful that he likes to help others and does so willingly, it will assist him while on his mission.
While at my sisters house we put together little scripture books (2 chocolate nuggets, with Anthonys favorite scripture printed on the top, stuck to a cookie biscuit with a licorce rope bookmark) for people to take with them after the get together, and we put together the missionary bear. =] My sister made a missionary bear for her daughter when her boyfriend at the time (husband now =D ) left on his mission to the Phillipines. Anthony wanted to leave a bear for his best friend Abby. We went to Deseret Industries on Thursday and got everything (except belt) that we needed and bless Susie's heart, she fixed the shirt, pants, and belt - I made the name tag and we have the cutest missionary bear!
