we missed the spiritual message


Today is Caleb's Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Caleb!!
In honor of his birthday I would like to tell you a funny story that happened to us with our ward missionaries this week.
Tuesday night Jonah started puking his life away. I thought it was something he had eaten, but I took precautions to quarantine him.
Wednesday we had to feed the missionaries and since Jonah hadn't thrown up all day and no one else was sick I decided to go ahead and keep the dinner appointment. Wednesday was transfer day which brought us a fresh-from-the-MTC elder. Right in the middle of dinner Jonah ralphed a stream of milk and chicken all over himself, his chair and the floor. As I was cleaning him off in the bathtub I could not stop laughing.
I stopped laughing an hour later when Josh and I were both leaning over the toilet hurling chicken and jello.
The flu.
I prayed that the missionaries wouldn't get it. I must not have strong enough faith. Today at church I asked the missionaries if they got sick. Luckily only the senior companion had been ill. He simply described his experience. Violent.
That's something to write home about.
See you soon, Kalub!

Oh my. Well, it will be interesting to see if the missionaries ever come back. You may be black listed for a while.

That is too funny!!! You may get taken off the "feed the missionaries" list.

I like the picture. The lunging makes it very dynamic.

They do have a list. (Good and Bad) One time the missionaries told me that the missionaries that leave your area alway leave the list. That could be good news for you Megan! Happy Birthday to the Baby Williamson

I remember holding Caleb as a little baby when I was babysitting, thinking how small (?) and delicate he was as a newborn baby! Yikes, what happened to us-we are growing up way too fast! Happy Birthday Caleb!
