We send out another missionary with a meal. John is off to the Marshall Islands. No Marshallese food in Las Vegas so we stuck with the general “island” theme. Good food, great guys.

Elder Keeler

When a member of the Priest Quorum gets their mission call, the quorum eats a meal to represent the place they were called to serve. Tonight we sent Preston off to Missouri over some Kansas City barbecue.

My Little Shadow Named Cole
