There was a returned missionary that spoke today in church. He was a great kid and I’m sure a great missionary. Rachel commented during his talk though that his talk focus about him and how much his mission helped in. She contrasted it to my cousin, Kevin, who we listened to speak in Roosevelt a few weeks ago. He went to the temple and prayed about what he should talk on and he delivered an excellent talk and taught the congregation. I agreed with her. I think it is a difference of being fully converted well before your mission verses being converted just before and while on your mission. I hope our kids are the former.

After church we went for a drive and looked at deferent areas that were building homes. We started in bluff dale and then looked at various parts of Lehi. By the end I was pretty frustrated and I questioned leaving Alpine. The kids were also complaining that they didn’t want to move away from Alpine. Now I’m confused because I thought we wanted to move away from Alpine and now I’m having second thoughts. Either way, I think we agree that we need to downsize our home and yard and to do so we almost have to look outside of Alpine. There is not much here in the lower price range. We are looking for a house under $350,000. There are only 2 or 3 houses for sale in Alpine in that price range.
