An Old Rocking Chair

Mission prep has got to be the coolest thing ever invented since soft serve ice cream.
{no pun intended}
By the way... when was soft serve ice cream invented?
Doesn't matter... my point is they are both wonderful contributions to this world and I'm so grateful for both of them in my life :)

Yesterday was my second time attending mission prep here in big R Town (aka Riverton)
And I just loved it.
It's taught by an older couple in their cozy living room.
The man has grey curly hair and makes me think of a jolly grandpa.
Yesterday we talked about the Spirit and how important it is that we learn NOW to be sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
As he taught he was sitting in a big rocking chair and I felt like a little child sitting at grandpa's feet, eagerly learning from his years of experience and wisdom.
It was such a cool experience because I truly felt like we were all brothers and sisters and we were united in our purpose.

From now on whenever I see a rocking chair I will always think back to my mission prep days, the spirit, and feeling at home in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
