Don't knock the phones. A few years back, when I was in Austria (during the real Soviet era), most of our apartments had no phones. My first apartment actually had no shower or bath (we had to stand in a wash basin and do a sponge bath, but that is clearly TMI). To contact other missionaries we had a list of phone numbers of local "friendlies"--people who weren't LDS but who lived relatively close (neighbors, for example) who for years had agreed to take a message and run it down the street to the missionaries' apartment.
My work appears regularly in both The New Era and The Friend. I have published several books and contribute regularly to the LDS Coloring Book app. With LDS Mobile Apps, I developed the LDS Scripture Hero app. A collection of my work can be found in the free LDS Laughs app.
Comments, complaints, or questions? Feel free to email me.
Phones like that are still in use here in Ukraine.

ReplyDeleteBTW, the comic is funny because it is so true.
