We had the new missionaries over for dinner, along with dear friends...
A meal for twelve, that involved spaghetti and salad and six teenagers and not one Kramer or Avery started a food fight. I know, impressive :)
Even Madison showed up and kept the shenanigans to a minimum (maybe she was really I tune with the spirit or sedated?)
They listened to the Elders quick message giving the classic pray, read your scriptures and Jesus answers , when asked...whatever nobody said anything inappropriate (it's a Kramer miracle)...
The Elders stood to say goodbye...we stood to shake their hands...then they got to our dear friend....
Our friend got a handshake, a hug and an I love you from each Elder. Something not too common among young men.
{Our friend would be out serving a mission along side these Elders, but his mission these last three years has been to recover from an injury that nearly took his life and is one awesome young man}
The elders acted not from pity or sorrow or obligation, but from a place of camaraderie, friendship and love.
It was such a privileged to witness a tender moment among these three amazing young men. I couldn't help but think, of the stripling warriors and the phrase "they have been taught by their mothers". all three Mommas, your boys have done you proud!
