Labor in the Vineyard

Here's a mystery of the kingdom for you, how are these two missionaries still companions eight and a half years after their first gag?

Busy

This is what I imagined many of the people who told me they were too busy to hear our message were doing when we came a knockin'.

Decisions, Decisions...

On the one hand, solar panels pay for themselves somewhere between 6 and 15 years. On the other hand, Mosiah 2:22-24 states that if you serve God, "He doth immediately bless you; and therefore he hath paid you."

Release Date

Poor kid. Talk like this will probably make him like his mission a bit less.

Elder Toms actually showed up earlier in Elder Van Dyke's mission as part of another companionship in Van Dyke's mission district. Hopefully, this level of worldbuilding makes Elder Van Dyke's adventures seem more plausible.

Grandpa Joke

Grandpa jokes: Slightly more mature than dad jokes, just as cringe-worthy.

All good things come to an end. Say goodbye to Elder Austin and check in next week to meet Elder Van Dyke's next companion.

Overcome with the Spirit?

Maybe I've been overcome with the spirit a couple of times too. Especially during the now discontinued High Priest Group meetings.
