Elder Nefi Alvarez, Me, and Elder Moberly
I had the craziest thing happen last Tuesday night when I was at the church. Some Elders peeked their heads into the Relief Society room and I recognized one of them as a boy that used to attend the Inner City Youth Camp in Chicago where I was a counselor for two summers. I couldn't believe it!!Nefi Alvarez is serving in the Ogden, Utah Mission and just so happens to be serving in Clearfield right now. I was able to talk to him and his companion at the church for a while and invited them to dinner. They came over tonight and it was really nice. They are spanish speaking elder's so they gave their message in Spanish (well, the scriptural part at least). It's always nice to have the missionaries over. It was especially fun for me to have Nefi over for dinner. I just kept looking at him thinking how ironic it was that he was in our house, eating dinner with us and I used to be his counselor in Chicago. He is one of the nicest boys I know. I can tell that he is such a great missionary.

Wow! What a fun experience. I bet it was so nice to see him as a missionary. I'm sure you were a wonderful example to him as his counselor. Isn't it a great feeling to have the missionaries in your home? I always love having them over. We don't have as many opportunities here in Utah. We had them over many, many times when we lived outside Utah and in Germany. Its' great to see these young men in action!
*ahem*
