P-Day Basketball

In honor of the Olympics, here's a sports themed strip.

(And here's a strip on navigating through the MTC laundry mat--which might be a sport in and of itself. This one's featured at deseretnews.com.)

Thar Be Treasure

Today's clever gag comes from clever 11-year-old and faithful reader Spencer V.

Soccer

Here's an experience that pretty much every missionary serving in a mission outside of the U.S. shares.

(Here is today's Deseret News featured strip.)

Pioneer Directions

Because all men--even pioneer men--can't admit their lost. Yep, I'm perpetrating an ugly stereotype, I know.

Weekly Stats

Check out the Soviet-era phones the missionaries are sporting in today's strip. (I really need to update some of these, don't I?)

Here is today's strip featured on DeseretNews.com.

Cultural Hall Chairs

In my three decades plus, I can't possible begin to calculate the number of times I've set up and taken down folding chairs in the cultural hall. But, to the best of my knowledge, I've never made the mistake of this poor sap featured in this month's New Era.

(I've you're still contemplating whether or not to purchase the LDS Scripture Heroes app, please know that I was informed last night that this weekend it will be on sale for $1.99.)

Introducing LDS Scripture Heroes

I'm excited to announce the release of LDS Scripture Heroes for iPhone and iPad. Once again this beautiful app comes to you from the ever talented folks at LDS Mobile Apps.
I am extremely proud of LDS Scripture Heroes. It is the culmination of many months of hard work. I can't say enough of the incredible job that Hilton Campbell did in building this one. It was an idea for an app I've had for years and I am so lucky to have partnered with a developer who not only shared my vision but expanded it.

The app is meant to be an introduction for preschool-aged children to the many scripture heroes found throughout the Standard Works. In sharing it over the past couple of weeks, I've discovered that older children and even adults get sucked into the easy game play and spend lots of time solving puzzles and accumulating stickers.
LDS Scripture Heroes is now available on the Apple app store for $2.99. It's worth the price!

Kitchen Emergency

This was a regular occurrence on my mission.

21st Century Pioneer Trekking

My wife and I went on a pioneer trek reenactment several years ago. For the most part, I didn't mind it. I figured if our pioneer ancestors were willing to push a cart for roughly 1,000 miles, I could do it for 20. There were times, though, where I wondered if those handcart pioneers wouldn't look at us weird for eschewing all our modern conveniences to pretend to be them for a couple of days.

Bike Area 4

I remember riding cobblestone on my bike. I probably shook all of my fillings loose.

(Hey, Elder Van Dyke has finally made it to the MTC in today's Deseret News strip. I revised this previous strip to reflect the current practice of dropping off missionaries.)
