HAPPY HAPPY UN-BIRTHDAY!

My Amazing Missionary Companion will turn 15 and 1/4 Birthdays old this
Thursday night on the third chime of the Grandfather clock at mid-night.
(exact time brought to us by Travis!)

Grandpa loves to sing in Primary!

He is organized and sets up many visits and appointments.

He shares his testimony,

meets in many meetings with many friends,

Always on the phone answering questions and setting up more appointments.

sharing principles and scriptures,

encouraging, laughing, interviewing, 

planning, figuring, auditing, even on P-day while the sheets are on the line.

correcting, finding, recording,

sharing joy with Temple goers, assisting, praying, loving, training, teaching, caring, 

likes driving crazy roads with a giant smile,

and visiting in homes about the Gospel of Jesus Christ 
(which is His very favorite part of the work!)

I love, like, adore, appreciate, look up to, admire, am thankful for, am happy to be with (or be around), respect, think amazing is, found heaven in, can't laugh without, am impressed by, dream about, cherish, have sparkly eyes because of, won't trade anything for, smiling because of, will do anything for, don't want one day without, smile when I see, want to be just like, wish I was more like, really truly madly deeply like, can think of a million other reasons to like my COMPANION!!!  (words I love and couldn't resist for my husband so I borrowed them!  originally written by Brooke for her husband! We can only hope they aren't copyrighted...if so I will pay in handmade soap which is already in her basement!!)

Love you Elder Benedict!!!  Happy Happy Un-Birthday! ;)
