I hope they call me on a mission...

Ask Kyle if he's going on a mission someday and without hesitation, his answer will be an emphatic "no." Grandma Turner's doing her best to change this and each time she gives him a quarter, she says, "You can put this in your bank and save it for your mission." And each time, Kyle replies with a "No! I'm going to save it for video games!"

We tried to sneak in a teaching moment by having the missionaries over for dinner tonight. We told him that missionaries teach about Jesus and The Book of Mormon. We enticed him with promises of brownies and ice cream once dinner was over. The elders even did their part by playing and wrestling with him. It's safe to say that a great time was had by all.

Apparently not good enough for Kyle. The missionaries weren't gone for more than 5 minutes when Kevin asked Kyle if he'd changed his mind about a mission someday. Kyle's reply?

"Nope. You can go, daddy."
